From Kensington High Street frontages to service yards near Holland Park, commercial surfacing needs to look sharp and perform under pressure. Fine Landscaping delivers heavy-duty driveways for offices, retail units, schools and managed blocks. We install tarmac, concrete and block paving engineered for frequent vehicle movements. Clear bay layouts, safe pedestrian routes and reliable drainage are built in from day one.
Kensington’s streets feature stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, often with tight access and strict presentation standards. In W8 and W14 we regularly work on forecourts, mews approaches and basement access ramps where levels and water run-off matter. Our finishes are chosen to complement elegant façades while standing up to delivery vans and maintenance vehicles. If you manage a mixed-use property, we can phase works to keep entrances open.
We start with a site survey, load requirements and a drainage assessment, then provide a clear specification and programme. Sub-bases are built to suit HGV ratings where needed, with falls set for efficient surface water control. Every installation is completed by experienced crews, with tidy handover and optional maintenance contracts. Clients choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Commercial sites across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often have restricted access, controlled parking and high expectations on appearance. We plan deliveries and waste removal carefully, and schedule noisy works to minimise disruption. Older properties around South Kensington and Earl’s Court can have shallow thresholds and complex levels, so we design falls and drainage to protect entrances. For the commercial driveways Kensington area relies on, we match materials to surrounding façades and public-facing settings.

Costs vary by access, excavation depth, load rating and finish. As a guide in Kensington, heavy-duty tarmac is often £90–£140 per m², block paving typically £120–£200 per m², and reinforced concrete commonly £110–£180 per m². Line marking, drainage channels and kerbs are usually priced separately. A site survey is the best way to confirm build-up requirements and avoid surprises.
Most projects take 3–10 working days depending on size, excavation, drying times and whether drainage or kerb lines are being altered. Tarmac can be quicker to lay, while concrete needs curing time before heavy traffic. Block paving takes longer due to laying and compaction. Restricted access in W8/W14, phased working for live sites, and utility covers can also extend the programme.
Many driveway and forecourt resurfacing works are permitted, but rules can apply to drainage and changes to access. If you’re creating a new crossover, altering the pavement, or directing water to the highway, you may need council permissions. For commercial driveways in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea sites, we check requirements early, advise on compliant permeable solutions, and can coordinate with managing agents and relevant approvals.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related defects, such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation or edging failure. The warranty applies when the driveway is used within the agreed load rating and maintained appropriately. Wear from misuse, oil contamination, or third-party damage isn’t covered, but we can offer maintenance contracts to extend lifespan. You’ll receive care guidance at handover.
Popular choices include HGV-rated tarmac for large areas, reinforced concrete for ramps and high-turn zones, and block paving for premium frontages. We can add contrasting borders, kerb lines, tactile paving, and clear line marking for bays and pedestrian routes. Drainage options include channel drains and permeable paving where suitable. We’ll recommend the best specification based on traffic, aesthetics, and long-term maintenance needs.
