Clapham gardens work hard—summer entertaining, muddy winters and constant footfall. Our limestone paving is a smart upgrade for patios and pathways near Clapham Common and around Clapham Old Town. We install clean, level surfaces that look refined and feel comfortable underfoot. Expect careful detailing around steps, drains and planting borders for a finished look.
From Georgian townhouses to Victorian terraces and modern apartments, Clapham properties often have compact rear gardens and side returns that need precise planning. We’re used to tight access in Clapham North and Clapham South, including shared alleys and basement lightwells. If you’re in SW4 or SW11, we’ll recommend layouts that suit your architecture and make the most of usable space. The result is a patio that complements period brickwork or contemporary extensions.
We start with a site visit, levels check and clear specification, then build a proper sub-base and bedding layer before laying each slab accurately. Edges, falls and drainage are set to prevent standing water and movement over time. We offer optional sealing to reduce staining and help keep colour consistent. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We regularly install limestone paving in the Clapham area, where access can be restricted and parking needs planning, especially near Clapham Junction station. Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth boundary means we’re familiar with different council expectations and waste disposal arrangements. Many gardens have clay-heavy ground and mature tree roots, so we adapt excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. We also plan deliveries to reduce disruption on busy residential streets.

In Clapham, limestone paving typically ranges from £90–£160 per square metre, depending on slab choice, thickness, finish (honed or tumbled), and the complexity of the build-up. Most homeowners spend around £3,500–£8,000 for a new patio once excavation, sub-base, bedding, cutting, waste removal and edging are included. Sealing is optional and can add to the overall budget.
Most limestone paving projects take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and average patio sizes. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, dealing with deeper excavation, or installing steps, drainage channels and retaining edges. Weather also plays a part, as heavy rain can slow groundwork and curing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring levels and access on site.
In many cases, garden paving is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or changing drainage so water runs to the street. Front gardens and driveway-style areas may require permeable solutions or proper drainage to comply with local guidance. We’ll advise for the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth and help you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our limestone paving installations. This covers issues related to installation, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor laying, or incorrect falls—provided the area is used as intended. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and markings, which is part of its character. We’ll also explain maintenance and sealing to help protect the finish long-term.
Popular options include Blue Limestone for a contemporary look, Grey Limestone for a softer, versatile tone, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. For finishes, honed limestone gives a smooth, modern feel, while a tumbled finish suits period terraces with a more aged edge. We’ll help you choose slab size, laying pattern and edging to match your home, then recommend sealing where it makes sense.
