From Portobello Road Market to Notting Hill Gate, properties in W11 deserve driveways that look sharp and perform in all weathers. We design and build block paving, resin, tarmac, gravel and concrete driveways tailored to your frontage and parking needs. Whether you’re upgrading a tired surface or creating off-street parking, we keep disruption low and workmanship high. Expect clean lines, tidy edges and proper drainage from day one.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often come with tight access, shared boundaries and heritage-sensitive streetscapes. We plan levels carefully to protect thresholds, lightwells and basement entrances, and we detail edging to suit period brickwork and railings. For homes around Holland Park, Ladbroke Grove and Bayswater, we recommend finishes that complement the architecture without looking overdone. Our team is used to working around residents’ parking controls and narrow service roads.
We start with a site survey, discuss your preferred look, then specify the right build-up for longevity. Sub-base preparation, compaction and falls are handled to a strict standard, with drainage solutions to reduce surface water issues. You’ll receive a clear written scope, a realistic schedule and tidy handover. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, consistent crews and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be restricted and parking bays are tightly managed, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many front gardens sit above the pavement with steps or lightwells, making levels and drainage especially important. We also consider conservation-area expectations near the Carnival route and surrounding streets, keeping finishes sympathetic to period façades. If needed, we coordinate dropped kerb works and ensure compliant surface-water handling.

Costs vary by size, excavation depth, access and finish. As a guide in Notting Hill, gravel driveways often start around £70–£110 per m², tarmac £90–£140 per m², block paving £120–£200 per m², and resin bound £110–£180 per m². Concrete is typically £100–£170 per m². Repairs can range from £250 for small patches to several thousand for structural rebuilds and drainage.
Most driveway installations take 3–7 working days, depending on area, excavation, drainage and the chosen surface. Resin and block paving usually need careful base preparation and curing time, while tarmac can be quicker once the base is ready. Mews access, parking restrictions and skip permits can add time. We provide a schedule after the survey and keep you updated if weather or ground conditions change the plan.
Many driveway upgrades are permitted development, but rules can apply to drainage and to properties in conservation areas. If you’re creating a new hard surface, it typically needs to be permeable or drain to a suitable soakaway rather than the highway. Dropped kerbs require council approval and an authorised contractor process. We check the site constraints, advise on compliant materials, and help you navigate any RBKC requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for new driveway installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as sub-base failure, poor levels or edging movement. Materials may also carry manufacturer guarantees, depending on the product (for example, resin systems or paving). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil spills, or problems caused by third-party alterations. We’ll explain care guidance and provide aftercare support if questions arise.
Block paving remains popular for Victorian and period-style homes, especially in charcoal, brindle and reclaimed-look tones with contrasting borders. Resin bound suits cleaner, contemporary façades and mews houses, offering a smooth, permeable finish. Tarmac with granite or block edging is a practical option for frequent use, while gravel can work well for lighter traffic and traditional settings. We’ll help you choose colours, edging, patterns and drainage details to match your property and parking needs.
