Streatham's mix of architectural styles calls for versatile driveway solutions. From the sweeping crescents near Streatham Hill to the tree-lined roads of SW16, cobblestone installations complement both heritage properties and contemporary residences. Local planning considerations and proper drainage for London's unpredictable weather guide every project we undertake.
Installing cobblestones requires understanding South London's clay soil conditions. Each stone gets individually set into a compacted sub-base, ensuring stability despite seasonal ground movement. Proper jointing compounds prevent weed growth while allowing natural drainage - essential given Streatham's position between two river valleys. The finished surface handles everything from daily school runs to weekend DIY deliveries.
Twenty years working across Streatham means knowing which suppliers stock the best granite setts and reclaimed cobbles. Regular projects from Streatham Common station down to Furzedown Recreation Ground keep us connected with local requirements and aesthetic preferences.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Streatham properties see costs between £8,000-£15,000, though larger Victorian frontages or complex drainage requirements can increase this. Reclaimed cobbles cost more than new granite setts but offer authentic character.
Absolutely - from Streatham Hill's period conversions to modern developments near Furzedown, we work across SW16 and SW2 postcodes. Recent projects include homes near Streatham Common and the residential streets off Mitcham Lane.
Standard driveways take 2-3 weeks from excavation to completion. Larger properties or those requiring significant groundwork might extend to 4 weeks, particularly during wet weather.
Each installation carries decade-long protection covering settlement, drainage issues and workmanship. Cobblestones themselves last generations - many Streatham properties still feature original Victorian examples.
Definitely - cobblestones adapt brilliantly around mature trees common in Streatham gardens. Permeable jointing protects root systems while individual stones can be adjusted if roots cause future movement.
