Sidcup homeowners choose granite for its sharp look, strength, and low maintenance. Whether you’re improving access off Sidcup High Street or creating a smarter entertaining space near Foots Cray Meadows, granite delivers a high-end finish that suits both modern and traditional gardens. We install granite slabs for sleek patios and granite setts for detailed borders and driveway aprons. Every project is built for proper drainage and day-to-day use.
The Sidcup area (DA14 and DA15) has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and newer developments, each needing a slightly different approach. We regularly design granite paving that complements bay-fronted facades, brick paths and established front gardens. For driveways, we plan turning space and edging so the paving stays stable under vehicle loads. For patios, we focus on levels, thresholds and steps to create a clean transition from house to garden.
Our process starts with a site survey, clear written quotation and material samples so you can compare finishes. We excavate to the correct depth, install a robust sub-base, and bed granite accurately to prevent rocking and puddling. Joints, edges and falls are set out with care, then the area is left tidy and ready to use. Local homeowners recommend us for punctual crews, straightforward communication and consistent workmanship.
Across the granite paving Sidcup area, we often find mixed ground and mature tree roots near boundaries, so excavation and sub-base design matter. Access and parking can be tighter around Sidcup Place and busy residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also factor in driveway crossfalls, existing drainage and kerbside constraints common in the London Borough of Bexley. The result is paving that looks sharp and performs well year-round.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For granite paving in Sidcup, typical installed prices are £100–£180 per square metre, depending on the granite type, thickness, pattern and site preparation. Most patio or driveway projects fall around £4,000–£9,000, influenced by excavation depth, waste removal, edging details and drainage work. Granite setts and complex cuts usually increase labour time, while straightforward slab layouts can be more cost-efficient.
Most granite paving installations take 3–5 days, covering excavation, sub-base build-up, laying and finishing. Timescales vary with the total area, access for machinery, and whether we’re installing granite setts, steps or drainage channels. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during sub-base compaction and bedding. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated each day.
Most granite patios don’t need planning permission. For driveways, many projects are permitted development, but rules can apply around drainage, levels and where water discharges. In the London Borough of Bexley, it’s usually important that surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable drainage system rather than the public highway. We check the requirements during the survey and advise on compliant drainage solutions.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our granite paving installations. This covers issues related to installation, such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose setts or slabs, and edging failures, provided the area is used as intended. Natural stone itself can show variation and may weather over time, which is normal. We’ll also explain aftercare to keep your paving looking its best.
Popular choices include silver granite for a bright, contemporary look and black granite for bold contrast. We can install large-format granite slabs for clean-lined patios, or granite setts for traditional driveway borders, soldier courses and detailed features. Finishes can be flamed, sawn or lightly textured depending on slip resistance and style. We bring samples, recommend laying patterns, and help match edging and joint colour to your property.
