If you want a surface that looks sharp year-round and stands up to heavy use, granite is hard to beat. We design and install granite setts and granite slabs for patios, paths and driveways across CR2.

Sanderstead’s large detached houses, executive homes and period properties suit high-end hard landscaping that feels permanent. We regularly work on generous front drives and rear entertaining areas in Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green, where proportions and detailing matter. Granite paving complements brickwork, render and traditional garden walls without looking over-designed. We’ll match the paving format to your property—large slabs for modern lines, setts for character and structure.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear specification, then careful excavation and a properly compacted sub-base. We install granite on a stable bedding layer, cut accurately, and finish with neat edging and jointing suited to the application. You’ll get tidy working practices, a realistic programme (typically 3–5 days), and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality, clear communication and long-lasting results.
In the London Borough of Croydon, access and parking can affect deliveries and waste removal, so we plan logistics early. Around Sanderstead Plantation and nearby residential roads, we often encounter sloping plots, which makes correct levels and falls essential. We build robust sub-bases to suit vehicle loads and local ground conditions, then set out paving to work with existing thresholds and drainage routes. Where required, we can advise on permeable options and compliant detailing.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Granite Paving in Sanderstead, most homeowners budget £100–£180 per square metre depending on the granite type, thickness, edging and the amount of cutting. Typical total projects are often £4,000–£9,000 for a patio or driveway area, including excavation, sub-base build-up and installation. Costs can rise for complex patterns, steps, drainage channels or restricted access for machinery and skips.
Most granite paving projects take 3–5 days from excavation to final jointing, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Timescales vary with the area size, whether we’re laying granite setts or large slabs, and how much ground preparation is needed. Additional elements such as drainage runs, retaining edges, steps or replacing manholes can add time. We’ll confirm a programme after checking levels and site constraints.
Many patios and garden paving works are permitted development, but driveway rules can be stricter where surface water might run onto the highway. In the London Borough of Croydon, you may need to ensure the driveway is permeable or drains to a suitable soakaway within your property. If your home is listed or in a controlled area, extra checks may apply. We review drainage and compliance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our granite paving installations. This covers issues caused by installation, such as movement from inadequate sub-base preparation, poor levels, or edging failure. Granite itself is a natural stone with excellent longevity, and we source quality materials to reduce the risk of defects. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion.
We install granite slabs for clean, modern patios and granite setts for borders, aprons and traditional detailing. Popular choices include silver granite for a lighter, contemporary look and black granite for striking contrasts or driveway edging. We can create simple coursed layouts, mixed-size patterns, or sett features around planting beds and entrances. We’ll guide you on slip resistance, thickness for vehicle loads, and finishes that suit your property.
