Cracked tarmac, loose blocks and potholes quickly spoil the approach to your home and can become trip hazards. Our driveway repairs are tailored to Holland Park properties, with careful attention to drainage and finish. We regularly work near Holland Park and the Design Museum, so we understand the standards expected locally. Whether you need re-sanding, re-sealing or targeted patching, we focus on long-lasting results.
Holland Park is known for large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties where the driveway must look sharp and sit neatly against original brickwork and stone. In the W11 and W14 streets, we often see ageing block paving, failed pointing, and weeds breaking through joints. We also handle tired tarmac entrances that have dipped at the threshold or around utility trenches. If you’re in Kensington, Notting Hill or Earl’s Court, we can match repairs to existing materials and detailing.
We start with a site inspection to identify the cause—movement, poor sub-base, water pooling or root ingress—then recommend the most cost-effective fix. Works can include lifting and relaying blocks, repointing edges, pothole repairs, tarmac patching, weed removal, and drainage fixes to stop repeat damage. Your driveway is left clean and safe, with clear aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, transparent options and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access and parking in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many Holland Park driveways sit beside mature planting, so we protect borders and manage root-related movement carefully. We also see water pooling where older falls don’t meet modern drainage needs, so we correct levels and install practical drainage solutions. If needed, we’ll advise on permeable options to align with local guidance.

Costs depend on the repair type and the area affected. Small pothole repairs or tarmac patching typically start from around £180–£450. Localised block paving lifting and relaying is often £350–£900, while re-sanding and re-sealing for a standard driveway may range from £500–£1,400. Drainage fixes can be £450–£1,800+ depending on channels, soakaways and access. We provide a written, itemised quote after inspection.
Most repairs are completed quickly once the scope is confirmed. Minor pothole repairs, weed removal and re-sanding can often be done in half a day to a day. Lifting and relaying sections of block paving usually takes 1–2 days, while larger areas with repointing, re-sealing and drainage adjustments may take 2–4 days. Timescales vary with curing times, weather, access restrictions and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when you’re repairing existing surfacing rather than creating a new hardstanding. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering drainage to the public highway, or installing non-permeable surfacing over a front garden area. We’ll advise on permeable options and best practice, and we can help you check any RBKC requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our driveway repairs come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as settlement in repaired areas (where the agreed base build-up was installed), joint failure after repointing, and defects related to our sealing work. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, heavy vehicle overloading beyond normal domestic use, or underlying problems we’ve advised need full reconstruction. You’ll also receive aftercare guidance to maximise lifespan.
We can repair and blend with existing materials or upgrade the finish during the repair. Popular options include replacing damaged blocks with matching colours, using kiln-dried jointing sand, applying a quality block paving sealer (matt or satin), and repointing edges for a cleaner line. For tarmac, we can patch and re-texture to reduce visible joins. We’ll recommend options based on your property style, drainage needs and how you use the driveway.
