Across the London Borough of Lambeth, we frequently encounter clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots near boundaries, which can affect settlement and drainage. In SE21 streets, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and parking issues. We set robust sub-bases and use edge restraints suited to period properties where retaining walls and steps must be protected. If required, we also incorporate permeable detailing and compliant drainage to help meet local surface-water rules.

Costs in SE21 vary with stone choice, excavation depth and drainage needs. As a guide, expect around £180–£320 per m² for quality granite setts or Belgian block installed on a proper sub-base. Smaller driveways can have higher per‑m² rates due to set-up and waste removal. Restoration and re-laying is often £90–£180 per m², depending on how much lifting and re-bedding is required.
Most cobblestone driveway projects take 5–12 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of excavation. A straightforward single-car area can be completed in about a week, while larger driveways with steps, retaining edges or complex patterns take longer. Timescales are affected by drainage integration, curing time for bedding and haunching, and whether we’re also widening the entrance or rebuilding edgings.
Many driveway installations are permitted development, but rules often depend on surface-water drainage. In general, if the driveway is non-permeable and over 5m², you’ll need to direct water to a permeable area or install compliant drainage rather than letting it run to the highway. Conservation areas and listed buildings can add restrictions. We check the site, advise on options, and help you stay aligned with Lambeth requirements.
Yes. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our cobblestone driveway installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by sub-base failure, loose edging, and defects in installation workmanship. Natural stone itself is extremely durable, but we’ll also advise on jointing and maintenance to keep it looking its best. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle loading beyond the design brief, or neglect of basic aftercare.
We install natural cobbles, granite setts and Belgian block in a range of sizes and tones, from silver-grey to warmer buff mixes. Popular designs include fan patterns, stretcher bond, random coursing, soldier edging and contrasting borders for a sharper frame. For a more contemporary look, we can use larger setts with clean lines and minimal colour variation. We’ll bring samples, recommend layouts for your frontage, and plan edging and drainage to suit.
