Uneven paving, rocking blocks and spreading weeds can quickly spoil a driveway or terrace, especially around busy routes near Blackheath Village. Fine Landscaping delivers targeted repairs that stabilise the surface and improve kerb appeal without unnecessary full replacement. From small trip hazards to larger sunken patches, we diagnose the cause and fix it properly. We work across SE3, including properties close to Blackheath Common.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often have original-style paths and driveways that need careful matching. We source compatible blocks and jointing materials so repairs blend with existing patterns and borders. Where older sub-bases have settled, we re-level and compact to prevent the same dips returning. If your paving sits alongside mature planting, we protect roots and edges during the repair.
Our process starts with an on-site assessment, then we lift affected areas, correct levels, and reinstate blocks with tight lines and clean joints. We finish with re-sanding, weed treatment, cleaning and optional sealing to lock in colour and reduce future growth. You’ll get clear recommendations, tidy workmanship and straightforward aftercare guidance. All repairs are backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We regularly carry out paving repairs blackheath area properties where access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground movement and tree roots near open spaces like Blackheath Common can lead to dips, so we focus on sub-base correction, not just cosmetic patching. Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we also consider drainage rules and keep finishes sympathetic to Georgian and Victorian frontages. We can advise on permeable options where runoff is a concern.

Costs vary with the size of the affected area, access, and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding. As a guide, small repairs such as re-sanding, weed treatment and minor re-levelling often start from around £250–£600. Larger patches involving lifting, re-compacting and block replacement are commonly £600–£1,800+. Cleaning and sealing is usually priced separately, typically £6–£12 per m² depending on condition.
Most straightforward repairs are completed in half a day to one day, including lifting, re-levelling, re-sanding and tidying up. If the sub-base has failed, edges need rebuilding, or multiple areas are affected, allow 1–3 days. Dry weather helps jointing sand settle properly, and sealing is normally done once the surface is fully dry. Access restrictions and waste removal can also affect timings.
In most cases, like-for-like paving repairs are permitted and won’t need planning permission. Rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage, or replacing a non-permeable front drive that drains to the highway. Some properties near conservation areas may have extra considerations, especially with period front gardens. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can recommend compliant, permeable finishes where needed.
Yes. Our paving repair work comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including reinstated areas we’ve lifted, re-levelled and re-laid, plus repaired edges where specified. The warranty is designed to protect you against defects caused by installation issues rather than normal wear. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy impact, oil spills left untreated, or third-party alterations. We also provide aftercare tips to maximise lifespan.
We can repair and blend most block paving styles, including tumbled blocks for heritage looks, standard rectangular blocks in Herringbone or Stretcher Bond, and contrasting soldier-course edges. For joints, we’ll advise on kiln-dried sand or resin-based jointing where appropriate. If you’re refreshing the look, cleaning and sealing can deepen colour and reduce staining. We bring samples and match tones to suit period façades and existing borders.
