Upper Norwood’s hilltop setting and period streets mean paving needs to cope with gradients, run-off and heavy footfall. We regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where original paths and driveways have been altered over time. Settled sub-bases, tree roots and worn jointing are common issues, especially on older block paving. Our local team matches existing materials and finishes so repairs sit naturally with the property.
We start with an on-site inspection, then recommend the most cost-effective fix: block replacement, re-levelling, re-sanding or pointing repairs. Where needed, we treat weeds, deep-clean the surface and apply a quality sealer for longer-lasting results. Every job is completed with careful edge repairs and tidy workmanship, with clear communication throughout. Fine Landscaping is only 15 minutes away, so support and follow-ups are straightforward.
We’re used to working on sloping plots and stepped access routes around Upper Norwood, where water run-off can wash out jointing.

We also consider drainage expectations in the London Borough of Croydon, especially when repairs affect falls and surface water flow. Our methods suit period properties where you want repairs to look original, not patched.

Re-levelling larger sunken sections may take 1–2 days, especially if the sub-base needs rebuilding.

Yes. Our paving repair workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering issues such as settlement caused by our reinstated sub-base, failed jointing from poor installation, or edge restraints we’ve repaired coming loose. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, oil/chemical staining, or movement caused by external factors like major tree-root growth or groundworks by others. We’ll explain what’s included before we start and provide care guidance after completion.
We aim to match what you already have, whether that’s standard concrete block paving, tumbled blocks for a period look, or natural stone setts. For jointing, we can re-sand with kiln-dried sand or use a resin-based jointing compound where appropriate. Finishes include deep cleaning, optional sealing (matt or satin), and refreshed edges for a crisp border. We bring samples and help you choose what suits your home and budget.
