If you want a hard-wearing surface that still feels refined, granite is a standout choice for patios and driveways in SM2 and SM3. We install granite slabs and granite setts with clean lines, tight joints and crisp edging details. Homeowners near Cheam Village often choose granite for its timeless look and low maintenance. It also pairs beautifully with brickwork, rendered walls and traditional garden planting.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes suits granite particularly well. For 1930s front gardens, we can create a practical driveway layout that respects original proportions while improving parking. For bigger plots around Worcester Park and Ewell, granite patios help define seating and dining zones without looking busy. We’ll guide you on colours and finishes so the paving complements your property rather than competing with it.
Our process starts with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage falls and access, then we provide a clear written quotation. We excavate properly, install a robust sub-base, and lay granite to precise tolerances to prevent rocking and ponding. Every job is finished with careful jointing, edge restraint and a tidy handover. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful working practices and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the London Borough of Sutton, we’re used to the access and parking constraints around Cheam Village and nearby residential roads. Ground conditions can vary, so we build sub-bases to suit and set correct falls away from homes. If you’re close to Nonsuch Park or within conservation-influenced streets, we can advise on sympathetic detailing and edging. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption for neighbours.

For granite paving in the Cheam area, budgets typically fall between £100 and £180 per square metre depending on the granite type, cut/finish, and the complexity of the layout. Most completed patio or driveway projects land around £4,000–£9,000, influenced by excavation depth, sub-base requirements, drainage, steps or edging. We’ll survey your site and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, depending on the size of the area and the amount of groundwork required. Driveways can take longer if we’re adding drainage channels, strengthening the sub-base, or reworking levels near the house. Weather, access for skips and deliveries, and intricate sett detailing can also affect the programme. We confirm timescales after the survey.
In many cases, patios and driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and surface water. For front driveways, the key point is usually ensuring water drains to a permeable area within your boundary rather than the public highway. If your property is affected by conservation considerations or specific restrictions, we’ll highlight this during the survey and help you make compliant choices.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for granite paving installations. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, edge restraint failure, or incorrect levels and falls (subject to normal use). Natural stone itself can vary in tone and marking, which is part of its character, but we always select and lay materials carefully for a consistent finish.
Popular choices include silver granite slabs for a bright, contemporary look and black granite for strong contrast against brickwork and planting. Granite setts work well for driveway aprons, edging, or creating a border around a patio. We can design simple large-format layouts or add details such as soldier courses, thresholds and step treads. We’ll bring samples and recommend finishes that suit your home and how you use the space.
