If you want a driveway or patio that stays smart for decades, granite is a standout choice. We install granite setts and granite slabs across CR8, including around Purley Cross and Purley Oaks. From clean, modern paving lines to traditional sett detailing, we tailor the layout to suit your home and how you use the space. Expect a neat finish, strong edges and a surface that copes well with daily wear.
Purley’s leafy streets at the foot of the North Downs feature large detached houses, 1930s properties and characterful period homes—each needing a slightly different approach. We regularly design granite paving purley area schemes that complement brickwork, render and heritage features without looking overdone. For sloping plots near Riddlesdown or wider frontages in Kenley and Sanderstead, we plan levels and drainage carefully. The result is paving that looks right and functions properly year-round.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measurement and clear recommendations on granite type, bond pattern and edging. We excavate properly, install a robust sub-base, and bed the granite for long-term stability, finishing with precise cuts and tidy joints. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a clean handover. Homeowners choose us for granite paving in London Borough of Croydon because we focus on durability, detailing and dependable aftercare.
In Purley and wider London Borough of Croydon, access and parking can influence how materials are delivered and stored, so we plan logistics in advance. Many homes have sloped drives and varied ground levels, particularly closer to Riddlesdown, so we set falls and thresholds carefully. We also consider surface-water run-off and practical entry points for cars and pedestrians. That local awareness helps avoid uneven settling and keeps the paving looking sharp.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Granite paving in Purley typically falls between £100–£180 per square metre, depending on the granite type (setts or slabs), thickness, cutting complexity and edging details. Most patio and driveway projects come in around £4,000–£9,000, with larger driveways or intricate sett patterns costing more. Ground preparation, drainage adjustments and access for deliveries can also affect the final figure.
Most granite paving installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and normal ground conditions. Time can increase if we’re excavating deeper for a driveway, building retaining edges, adjusting levels on a slope, or adding drainage channels and steps. Weather can also slow down progress, particularly during heavy rain. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, patios and like-for-like driveway replacements are permitted development, but rules can apply around surface-water drainage and changes to front gardens. If a new or altered driveway affects run-off to the public highway, you may need a permeable solution or suitable drainage. We’ll advise on compliant options and check any relevant London Borough of Croydon requirements before work starts, so you avoid surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for granite paving, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate installation, poor sub-base preparation, or failed edging restraint. Granite itself is a naturally durable material, and with correct bedding and jointing it performs exceptionally well. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care and maintenance to help protect your investment.
You can choose granite setts for a classic, textured look or granite slabs for a cleaner, contemporary finish. Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, modern feel and black granite for bold contrast, often paired with a contrasting border. We can incorporate soldier-course edging, entrance aprons, steps and drainage channels where needed. We’ll bring samples, discuss patterns and recommend options that suit your home and budget.
