Streatham homeowners love limestone for its natural colour variation and refined look that complements period brickwork and modern extensions alike. Whether you’re near Streatham Common or off Streatham High Road, we build patios that drain properly and feel level underfoot. Our limestone paving streatham area service covers everything from careful setting-out to neat edging details. The result is a terrace that looks premium and stays practical year-round.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments often come with compact gardens, side returns and stepped thresholds. We design paving layouts that work with these proportions, keeping access clear and making outdoor seating areas feel larger. In SW16 and SW2, we regularly see sloping plots and mixed ground conditions, so we plan sub-bases and falls to prevent standing water. Every project is tailored to how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear written scope so there are no surprises. Then we excavate, install a robust sub-base, lay limestone on the right bedding, and finish with pointing and sealing where specified. You’ll get tidy working practices, reliable scheduling (typically 3–5 days), and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Many local clients choose us for consistent detailing and long-lasting results.
We’re used to the access constraints around Streatham Hill and Streatham Park, including narrow side passages and shared drives. Our team plans deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption, and we keep sites secure and tidy. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit. We also factor in thresholds and air bricks common on older Lambeth homes.

For Limestone Paving in Streatham, typical installed prices are £90–£160 per square metre, depending on stone choice, thickness, finish, and site access. Most patio projects in SW16 and SW2 land around £3,500–£8,000, influenced by excavation depth, drainage needs, steps, edging and waste removal. We’ll confirm measurements and specification after a site visit and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most limestone patios take 3–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, assuming straightforward access and average weather. Timings can extend if we’re building steps, installing drainage channels, or dealing with deeper dig-outs and spoil removal. Larger areas or intricate patterns also add time. We’ll agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated if conditions on site change.
In many cases, garden patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the highway, or working in a conservation area. For front gardens, permeable surfacing and proper run-off are especially important. We’ll advise on best practice and help you check any Lambeth requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by poor construction, and problems with falls and drainage attributable to our work. Natural stone itself can vary in colour and character, which is part of its appeal, but we only use reputable suppliers. We’ll also give care guidance, including sealing and cleaning, to help your patio stay looking its best.
Popular options include Blue Limestone for a contemporary look, Grey Limestone for a classic neutral tone, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. Finishes range from tumbled (softer, aged edges with extra grip) to honed (smoother, more refined). We can also include matching steps, edging and contrasting borders. We’ll bring samples, discuss maintenance, and recommend sealing based on how you use the space.
