If you want a surface that looks sharp year-round and stands up to heavy use, granite is a smart upgrade. We install granite setts and granite slabs across SE6, including projects near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. From compact front gardens to larger rear patios, we design paving that suits how you live. The result is a refined finish that’s easy to maintain and hard-wearing.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties often comes with varied levels, narrow side access and older drainage layouts. We’re used to creating practical falls, tidy thresholds and durable edges that work with existing brickwork and garden walls. For homes around Hither Green and Bellingham, we can also improve kerb appeal with a driveway layout that maximises parking space. Every design is tailored to your plot, not a one-size pattern.
Our process starts with a site survey, then a clear written quote and schedule. We excavate to the correct depth, install a stable sub-base, and bed granite precisely for long-term performance. You’ll get straightforward communication, neat working practices and reliable aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a finish that stays level and true.
Working across the granite paving Catford area, we plan for restricted access, on-street parking and skip placement common on residential roads. Ground conditions can vary between compacted made ground and softer garden soil, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also factor in drainage expectations in the London Borough of Lewisham, including permeable options where needed. That means fewer delays and a finish that performs in local weather.

For Granite Paving in Catford, installation typically falls between £100 and £180 per square metre, depending on the granite type, pattern, edging and groundworks required. Most homeowners spend around £4,000 to £9,000 for a driveway or patio, with larger areas or complex levels costing more. We’ll confirm sizes, access and drainage needs during a site visit before providing a detailed quote.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Timescales can extend if we’re replacing a deep existing base, correcting levels, installing new drainage, or working around tight access typical of terraces. Larger driveways using granite setts can also take longer due to the detailed laying and jointing. We’ll agree a realistic schedule before work begins.
In many cases, patios and like-for-like driveway replacements are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage and materials. For front gardens, current guidance often expects water to drain to a permeable area rather than the public highway. We’ll advise on practical solutions such as permeable joints, channel drains or directing falls into planting beds. If any permissions are needed in the London Borough of Lewisham, we’ll flag it early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as sinking, rocking slabs/setts and failure caused by incorrect base preparation or installation. It’s designed to give you confidence that the paving will remain stable and safe under normal domestic use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, extreme misuse or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll also give care guidance to help keep the surface looking its best.
You can choose from granite slabs for a clean, contemporary patio, or granite setts for a more textured, premium driveway finish. Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, modern look and black granite for strong contrast with brickwork. We can create borders, soldier courses, mixed sizes and step details to suit your property. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, then recommend a layout that fits your space and budget.
