Uneven paving and loose blocks quickly become a trip hazard, especially on busy routes near Oval tube station and Kennington Park. Fine Landscaping delivers targeted repairs that bring patios, paths and driveways back to a level, tidy finish. From re-sanding and pointing repairs to edge repairs and weed treatment, we focus on long-lasting results rather than quick patches. If your paving in SE11 is sinking, rocking or spreading, we can put it right.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact front gardens, side returns and shared accessways where paving takes a daily battering. Older sub-bases can settle over time, and tree roots or historic drainage runs can cause localised movement. Our team is used to working on period properties and matching existing block colours, laying patterns and edging details. If you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we’ll tailor the repair to suit the original look.
We start with a site check to identify why the paving has failed, then recommend the most efficient fix: block replacement, re-levelling, re-sanding or joint pointing. Where needed, we clean, treat weeds and apply a suitable sealer to help reduce staining and sand loss. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear communication on access and drying times. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable timings and a 10-year warranty on qualifying repairs.
We’re familiar with the paving layouts and access constraints typical in the London Borough of Lambeth, including narrow frontages and controlled parking. Around The Oval cricket ground and nearby streets, deliveries and working hours can affect scheduling, so we plan materials and waste removal carefully. We also account for older sub-bases and drainage routes common around Georgian terraces. That’s why our paving repairs Oval area approach focuses on fixing the cause, not just the surface.

Costs depend on the size of the affected area and the type of repair needed. Small fixes such as re-sanding, weed treatment and replacing a handful of blocks often start around £150–£400. Re-levelling sunken sections or rebuilding edges typically falls in the £450–£1,200 range. Cleaning and sealing is usually priced separately, often £6–£15 per m², depending on condition and access in SE11.
Many jobs are completed within half a day to one day, such as re-sanding, pointing repairs, or replacing isolated blocks. Re-levelling larger areas or rebuilding edge restraints can take 1–3 days, depending on how much sub-base work is required. Drying times for jointing, cleaning and sealing can add an extra day. Access, parking restrictions and waste removal in Lambeth can also affect timings.
Most paving repairs are classed as maintenance and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering a front garden to create a driveway, or using non-permeable surfacing where drainage could run onto the highway. Conservation area considerations may also apply around period streets. We’ll advise on compliant options and, where needed, help you check Lambeth guidance before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying paving repairs where we’ve corrected the underlying cause (such as sub-base settlement or failed edge restraints) and the area is used as intended. The warranty covers workmanship-related issues like re-sinking of the repaired section or loosening caused by installation faults. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle overloading, or new movement from external factors such as tree roots or drainage failures.
We can usually source close matches for existing block paving, including standard concrete blocks, tumbled blocks for a softer period look, and clay pavers for richer colour. For joints, we’ll advise between kiln-dried sand and resin-based jointing compounds depending on usage and weed pressure. Cleaning methods are chosen to suit the surface, and sealing can be matt or enhanced finish. We’ll bring samples and recommend options that suit your property style and budget.
