Cracked surfacing, loose blocks and potholes can quickly spoil a smart frontage on King’s Road or near the Saatchi Gallery. Fine Landscaping delivers targeted repairs that blend with your existing driveway and reduce future wear. We handle everything from re-sanding and repointing to re-sealing and drainage fixes. If your entrance is lifting, sinking or weeding through, we’ll put it right with minimal disruption.
Chelsea’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments often have compact forecourts, shared access points and high expectations for finish. Our team is used to matching aged block colours, kerb lines and edging details so repairs don’t look like patches. We also work around basement lightwells, steps and delicate façades common in SW3 and SW10. That local experience helps us choose the right repair method first time.
We start with a clear inspection: identify movement, sub-base issues, drainage performance and surface wear. Then we propose the most cost-effective fix—lifting and relaying blocks, tarmac patching, pothole repairs, weed removal, re-sanding, re-sealing or repointing—using professional materials and tidy working practices. You’ll get a written scope, transparent timings and workmanship backed by our warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean handovers and repairs that last.
Access in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can be tight, with controlled parking and busy streets around Stamford Bridge and South Kensington. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep disruption low and sites compliant. Many forecourts sit over older groundworks, so we check for settlement and drainage pinch points before relaying. Where needed, we improve falls and gullies to stop water tracking towards thresholds.

Costs depend on surface type, size of the damaged area and whether the sub-base needs stabilising. As a guide, minor block paving re-sanding or repointing often starts from £250–£600, while lifting and relaying small sections is typically £500–£1,500. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs commonly range £300–£1,200. Drainage fixes can add £400–£2,000 depending on gullies and pipe runs.
Most repairs are completed within half a day to two days, depending on the scope. Re-sanding, weed removal and re-sealing are often done in a single visit, allowing for drying times. Lifting and relaying block paving or completing tarmac patching can take 1–2 days, especially if we need to rebuild a sub-base. Access, parking restrictions, weather and curing times are the main factors.
In many cases, like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and won’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing materials, altering levels, adding new drainage connections, or working within a conservation area. There are also requirements around surface water drainage and permeable finishes. We’ll advise on what’s likely to be needed and can help you check relevant RBKC guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering defects related to installation and the repair methods we’ve carried out. This includes issues such as relaid blocks settling due to poor preparation, failed pointing where we’ve repointed, or premature breakdown in patched areas caused by workmanship. Normal wear, accidental damage and problems caused by underlying utilities or third-party works aren’t covered, but we’ll always inspect and advise.
We can repair and refresh most common finishes, including concrete block paving, clay pavers and tarmac. For block paving, we’ll match sizes and colours, replace damaged units, and offer kiln-dried sand or resin jointing depending on the look and performance you want. For protection, we can apply a quality sealer in matt or satin finishes. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style and existing driveway character.
