Need Driveway Repairs in Notting Hill that look right and last? We fix block paving, tarmac and drainage issues with clean edges, matched materials and a tidy finish.
Response within 24 hours
From cracked tarmac to loose blocks and sinking edges, driveway damage can quickly spoil the frontage of a W11 home. Our team repairs worn surfaces near Portobello Road Market and around Notting Hill Gate, keeping access safe and looking smart. We handle pothole repairs, re-sanding and re-sealing, plus weed removal that stops joints opening up. The aim is a seamless repair that blends with the existing driveway rather than a patchwork look.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often have compact forecourts and shared access points. We’re used to working with tight turning circles, basement lightwells and delicate boundary details common around Holland Park and Ladbroke Grove. If your driveway is block paved, we can lift and relay sections to correct dips and rocking blocks. For older tarmac, we patch and feather repairs so they sit flush and drain properly.
We start with a site visit to identify the cause—failed sub-base, poor drainage, or joint loss—then recommend the most cost-effective repair. Surfaces are cleaned, repaired and finished with re-sanding, repointing or re-sealing as appropriate, with careful protection of walls and thresholds. You’ll get clear timings, straightforward communication and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will and leave the frontage clean and usable.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means narrow streets, controlled parking and limited space for materials. We plan deliveries, loading and waste removal to suit W11 restrictions and keep neighbours onside. Many forecourts sit between walls and railings, so we use compact kit and careful edging to avoid damage. Where runoff is an issue, we prioritise drainage fixes that keep water away from thresholds and basements.

Costs vary with the surface type, access and how deep the failure goes. For block paving repairs, small lift-and-relay areas often start from £250–£600, while larger sections with sub-base work can be £800–£2,000+. Tarmac patching is commonly £300–£900 for localised areas, with multiple patches or resurfacing preparation higher. Drainage fixes and channel work typically add £250–£1,200 depending on length and connections.
Most minor repairs—such as pothole repairs, re-sanding, weed removal and small block replacements—can be completed in half a day to one day. Larger lift-and-relay work, repointing, or multiple tarmac patches usually take 1–3 days. Timescales depend on the number of affected areas, whether the sub-base needs rebuilding, drying/curing times for sealers, and access constraints on tighter Notting Hill streets.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering access/kerbs, or installing new drainage that affects runoff to the highway. Some properties may also have conservation considerations. We’ll advise what’s normally permitted, check any relevant RBKC guidance, and recommend permeable or compliant drainage solutions where needed before work begins.
Yes—our driveway repair work comes with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as repair settlement, joint failure related to our installation, and defects caused by poor fixing. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, tree root movement, flooding, or heavy loads beyond what the driveway was designed for. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific repair and provide aftercare advice to help it last.
We aim to match your existing driveway, but you still have choices on finish and longevity. For block paving, we can replace like-for-like blocks, adjust laying patterns, and use kiln-dried sand or resin-based jointing compounds. For tarmac, we offer neat patching or larger cut-out repairs with clean edges. We can also re-seal block paving for colour enhancement and stain resistance, and add drainage channels where pooling is a problem.
