Response within 24 hours
Uneven paving and loose blocks can quickly spoil a driveway or patio, especially after heavy rain and regular parking. Our team carries out targeted repairs near Richmond Green and around TW9 and TW10, matching existing materials wherever possible. We fix trip hazards, improve surface levels and leave the area tidy. If your joints are washing out or weeds keep returning, we’ll address the cause—not just the symptoms.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often have older sub-bases and edging details that need careful handling. In Kew and Petersham, we frequently see block paving that has settled, with joints that have opened up over time. We source compatible blocks and sands to keep the look consistent, whether it’s a smart front drive or a secluded garden terrace. Our approach respects period character while upgrading performance.
Every job starts with an on-site assessment, then we agree the repair scope and finish before work begins. Typical steps include lifting affected areas, re-levelling the sub-base, re-laying blocks, re-sanding and completing pointing repairs where needed. We finish with thorough cleaning, optional sealing, and weed treatment to help keep joints stable. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying repairs.
We’re used to the access and parking constraints around Richmond Bridge and residential streets in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Riverside moisture and shaded gardens can encourage algae and weeds, so we tailor cleaning, weed treatment and sealing to suit. Many properties have narrow frontages and mature planting, so we protect borders and manage materials carefully. We also consider drainage rules and permeable options where needed.

Costs vary with the size of the affected area, the type of paving and how much re-levelling is required. As a guide, small repairs (lifting and relaying a few square metres with re-sanding) often start from £250–£600. Larger sections with sub-base work and edge repairs commonly fall between £800–£2,500+. Cleaning and sealing is usually priced separately, depending on condition and total area.
Minor repairs such as replacing a handful of blocks, re-sanding and localised re-levelling are often completed in half a day to a full day. More involved work—lifting larger sections, rebuilding the sub-base, edge repairs, and finishing with cleaning and sealing—typically takes 2–4 days. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for jointing materials, and whether matching blocks need to be sourced.
Most like-for-like paving repairs are classed as maintenance and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering access/kerbs, or installing a new non-permeable driveway over 5m² without suitable drainage. Conservation areas and listed buildings may also have extra requirements. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check guidance for your specific street and property type.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying paving repairs, covering workmanship issues such as settlement in repaired sections, edge restraint failure related to our work, and jointing defects under normal use. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy vehicle loads beyond typical domestic use, or problems caused by underlying issues outside the repaired area (for example, leaks or tree-root movement). We’ll explain what’s covered before starting.
We aim to match your existing paving first—especially important for period homes—using compatible block sizes, colours and laying patterns. Where a refresh is needed, we can recommend jointing options, kiln-dried sand, and sealers in matt or enhanced finishes. For edges, we can repair or upgrade restraints using kerbs or brick-on-edge details. We’ll help you choose based on drainage, slip resistance, maintenance and the overall look of your frontage.
