Brixton’s busy streets and lively gardens deserve paving that can take daily use and still look refined. Our granite setts and granite slabs suit everything from compact front gardens near Brixton Market to larger rear patios around Herne Hill. We design surfaces that feel solid underfoot, drain properly, and complement your home’s brickwork and planting. Expect crisp edges, clean lines, and a finish that stays smart year-round.
We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, where Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and modern developments sit side by side. Granite paving can elevate a period frontage with traditional setts, or sharpen a contemporary scheme with large-format slabs. In areas such as Stockwell and Brixton Hill, we often improve access routes, bin areas and entertaining spaces without losing valuable garden space. Every layout is planned to suit how you actually use the outdoors.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification, then careful excavation and a proper sub-base. We install granite on a stable bedding layer, set accurate falls for drainage, and finish with neat jointing for long-term performance. You’ll get tidy working practices, straightforward communication, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us because the details—levels, edges and water run-off—are handled properly.
In the granite paving Brixton area, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Many Lambeth homes have shallow front gardens and shared boundaries, so we use clean edging details and accurate setting-out to maximise usable space. We also account for typical London ground conditions and ensure a robust sub-base to reduce movement over time. If drainage or crossovers are involved, we’ll advise on practical compliance for granite paving in London Borough of Lambeth.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Granite paving is typically £100–£180 per square metre in Brixton, depending on the stone type (setts vs slabs), thickness, finish, and the complexity of the groundworks. Most homeowners spend around £4,000–£9,000 for a driveway or patio once excavation, sub-base, edging, drainage falls and jointing are included. We’ll confirm measurements on-site and provide a clear, itemised quote based on your layout.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if we need deeper excavation, additional drainage, or complex detailing such as steps, curved edges or mixed sett-and-slab patterns. Larger driveways and projects requiring removal of old concrete can also add time. After a site visit, we’ll give a realistic schedule and keep you updated throughout.
Many patios and like-for-like driveway replacements are permitted development, but rules can apply to front gardens, drainage to the public highway, and listed buildings or conservation areas. In Lambeth, the key issue is usually surface water: driveways should be permeable or drain to a suitable area within your boundary. We’ll advise on compliant drainage details and flag any situations where permission or additional approvals may be needed.
Yes. Our granite paving installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement caused by an inadequate sub-base, failed jointing due to poor preparation, or edging that loosens under normal use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme impact, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We also explain simple aftercare to keep your granite looking its best.
Popular options include silver granite for a bright, contemporary look, and black granite for strong contrast against brick and planting. Granite setts suit traditional driveways and edging details, while granite slabs create clean, modern patios and paths. We can also combine setts as borders with slab centres for definition. We’ll help you choose sizes, finishes and laying patterns that suit your property style and maintenance preferences.
