Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are reclaimed cobbles and setts?
A: Reclaimed cobbles and setts are original stone paving blocks salvaged from older streets, buildings, and construction sites. These materials are cleaned and repurposed for new landscaping projects, offering an authentic, timeworn aesthetic that modern alternatives can’t replicate.
Q: What’s the difference between cobbles and setts?
A: While often used interchangeably, cobbles are typically rounded stones (often naturally weathered), whereas setts are quarried and cut to a more uniform rectangular or square shape, often from granite or sandstone. Both are extremely durable and ideal for paving.
Q: Why choose reclaimed over new cobbles?
A: Reclaimed cobbles and setts offer:
✔️ A unique aged appearance
✔️ Greater sustainability (reuse of existing materials)
✔️ Durability, having already stood the test of time
✔️ A rich sense of character and heritage
They’re ideal for period restorations, traditional landscapes, and eco-conscious projects.
Q: Are reclaimed setts suitable for driveways?
A: Absolutely. Granite setts, in particular, are extremely hard-wearing and capable of handling heavy loads. When properly laid, they provide a robust, attractive surface for driveways, courtyards, and access roads.
Q: How do I work out how many cobbles or setts I need?
A: A general rule of thumb is:
One square metre of paving typically requires around 50–100 pieces, depending on size and pattern.

Q: What’s the difference between paving stones, cobbles and setts?
A: Paving stones is the umbrella term for individual stone paving units. Cobbles are rounded, naturally weathered stones, while setts are quarried and cut to a more regular rectangular shape. Setts are usually the practical choice for driveways; cobbles suit decorative borders and traditional courtyards.
