Picture Yorkshire sandstone gracing your Victorian terrace, or granite setts framing that generous corner plot so common in Bexley. Natural stone transforms ordinary driveways into something rather special.

Those spacious Edwardian properties dotted around Bexley deserve driveways that match their character. Stone paving brings that authentic feel - whether you're after the warm tones of Indian sandstone or the crisp elegance of limestone. Each installation starts with understanding your property's unique drainage challenges, particularly given how clay-heavy the soil gets around these parts.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference between stone that stays put and paving that shifts after the first winter. Full excavation down to solid ground, Type 1 MOT sub-base compacted in layers, then a mortar bed specifically mixed for natural stone. Getting the fall right matters too - especially with Bexley's tendency for surface water during heavy rain. Every joint gets properly pointed with flexible compound that handles our freeze-thaw cycles.
Twenty years laying stone across Southeast London teaches you what works where. Local knowledge counts when you're dealing with everything from narrow Victorian frontages to those sprawling 1930s semis near Danson Park.

Standard double driveways run between £4,500-£7,500 depending on stone choice and existing conditions. Indian sandstone tends toward the lower end, while premium granite or York stone pushes higher. Drainage work can add £800-£1,500 if needed.
Absolutely - from Albany Park through to North Cray, we're working on driveways most weeks. Also cover neighbouring Sidcup, Bexleyheath and Crayford regularly.
Most residential driveways take 5-7 working days from breaking ground to final seal. Larger projects or those needing significant groundwork might stretch to 10 days.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against settlement or joint failure. Natural stone itself lasts generations when properly laid - we're still maintaining driveways we installed back in 2005.
Riven sandstone handles our climate brilliantly - good grip when wet, doesn't mark easily. Granite setts excel for heavy use areas. Avoid soft limestones unless sealed annually - they can struggle with our damp winters.
