If you want a driveway or patio that looks sharp year-round, granite is hard to beat. We install granite setts and granite slabs across SE23, creating surfaces that stay smart under heavy use. Many Forest Hill homeowners choose granite for front gardens and rear terraces with clean detailing and strong edges. We’re often working near Forest Hill station and around the Horniman Museum area.
Forest Hill’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions, suit granite beautifully—especially when you want to complement brickwork, tiled paths and traditional boundary walls. We design paving that respects existing steps, bay-window frontages and narrow side returns. Whether you’re upgrading a shared access route or creating a new entertaining area, we plan levels and drainage to keep everything practical. We also work regularly in nearby Sydenham, Honor Oak and Brockley.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear, itemised quote, then agree a layout, edging and finish. Our team excavates properly, builds a stable sub-base, and lays granite to precise lines with careful jointing for a refined look. Work is kept tidy and safe, with clear daily updates and sensible access planning. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Forest Hill gardens often have level changes, steps and narrow side passages, which affects excavation and barrow routes. We set accurate falls to manage rainfall and avoid water pooling near period brickwork. Where required, we can advise on permeable build-ups and drainage channels to suit local expectations.

For granite paving in the Forest Hill area, most homeowners budget £100–£180 per square metre depending on the stone type, thickness, and laying pattern. Typical projects come in around £4,000–£9,000 for a patio or driveway section once excavation, sub-base, edging and waste removal are included. Costs vary with access, amount of cutting, drainage needs and whether you choose setts, slabs, or a mixed design.
Most granite paving jobs take 3–5 days, which covers excavation, sub-base construction, laying, jointing and final clean-down. Larger driveways, complex patterns with granite setts, or lots of steps and level changes can extend the programme. Poor access (common with side returns) may slow material handling. Weather can also affect curing times for bedding and jointing, so we plan the schedule carefully and keep you updated.
In many cases, patios and garden paving are permitted development, and driveway works are also straightforward if surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage system. However, rules can change depending on frontage layouts, conservation considerations and drainage arrangements. We’ll talk you through the options and check what applies to your property before work starts. If permissions or approvals are needed, we can help you prepare the right approach.
Yes. Our granite paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base stability, levels, and laying quality. It’s designed to protect you against issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation or poor installation. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, extreme impact, or lack of maintenance, but we’ll explain simple care steps to keep your granite looking its best for years.
We supply and install granite slabs for clean, contemporary patios and granite setts for traditional edging, aprons and driveway borders. Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, modern look and black granite for bold contrast and detailing. Finishes can be flamed/textured for grip, with sawn edges for crisp lines. We’ll help you choose sizes, patterns and edging to suit your home’s style and how you use the space.
