Tandur Grey Limestone Cobbles Setts Tumbled 200x100x50 From £48.00/m2

Tandur grey limestone cobbles and setts tumbled — also known as antique grey limestone — are hand-dressed and tumbled stones that provide dependable non-slip performance. Although the surface has a naturally smooth feel, the stone retains a soft, tactile texture underfoot, making it comfortable to walk on barefoot. This combination of appearance and practicality makes these cobbles an excellent choice for pathways both inside the home and throughout garden and patio areas.

Renowned for their strength and long-term durability, these limestone setts feature an attractive blue-grey colour that complements a wide range of exterior paint schemes and landscaping designs. Supplied in a convenient size of 200 x 100 x 40–60 mm, they are robust enough for driveways, high-traffic paths, patio borders and edging work. Their tumbled and antique character adds understated elegance to traditional British paving projects, bringing a refined yet rustic charm to modern and classic properties alike.

Specifications

Are Limestone Cobbles Suitable for Driveways?

Yes, limestone cobbles and setts are suitable for domestic driveways when installed correctly. Limestone is a dense and structurally consistent natural stone, providing reliable strength for regular foot traffic and light to moderate vehicle use. With proper installation, it performs well in typical UK garden and driveway applications.

How Do Limestone Cobbles Compare to Granite Setts?

Granite is generally stronger in absolute terms, but limestone offers excellent durability for most residential applications. While granite has a higher density, properly installed limestone setts provide more than sufficient strength for everyday use, making them a practical and cost-effective alternative.

How Should Limestone Cobbles Be Installed?

Limestone cobbles should be laid on a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, followed by a full mortar bed to provide consistent support. Because cobbles are smaller individual units, a stable and evenly prepared base is essential to prevent movement and ensure long-term performance.

Do Limestone Cobbles Need Sealing?

In most cases, limestone cobbles do not require sealing. As a relatively dense natural stone, limestone performs well in outdoor environments without additional treatment. Leaving the surface unsealed allows it to weather naturally and develop a more balanced and established appearance over time.

How Do Limestone Cobbles Change Over Time?

Limestone cobbles will gradually soften in tone and develop a natural patina when exposed to outdoor conditions. This is a normal characteristic of natural stone and is often valued in traditional and heritage-style garden settings.

What Joint Width Is Recommended?

Joint widths are typically kept between 8 mm and 15 mm to allow for minor size variations and proper jointing. Consistent spacing helps improve both the appearance and structural stability of the installation.
