That sunken patch by your garage door isn't going to fix itself. Whether it's crumbling tarmac on a Forest Hill Victorian or loose blocks on a Hither Green semi, proper repair work makes all the difference to your property's appearance and value.

Catford's mix of housing stock presents unique challenges for driveway maintenance. Those narrow Victorian driveways squeezed between bay windows take a beating from daily use, whilst the wider drives of 1930s semis often struggle with tree root damage from mature street planting. Years of Southeast London weather, combined with heavy vehicle traffic, creates everything from surface cracks to serious subsidence issues.
Effective repair starts with understanding why the damage occurred. Poor drainage causes most problems in SE6, where London clay expands and contracts seasonally. Rather than patching symptoms, addressing water flow prevents future failures. Modern repair techniques include lifting and relaying affected sections, installing proper sub-base materials, and creating subtle gradients that direct rainwater away from foundations.
Local knowledge matters when tackling Lewisham borough's planning requirements. Having worked on properties from Brownhill Road to Canadian Avenue, understanding which repairs need permission saves homeowners time and potential fines.

Minor patching work starts around £400-600, whilst relaying a typical two-car driveway ranges £2,500-4,000. Victorian properties with restricted access may require hand-digging, affecting costs.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas near Mountsfield Park to the newer estates towards Bellingham, SE6 postcodes fall within our regular working area.
Small patch repairs complete within a day. Full driveway restoration typically requires 3-5 days, weather permitting, including proper curing time.
All structural repairs carry decade-long protection against defects. This covers material failure and workmanship, giving SE6 homeowners genuine peace of mind about their investment.
Many driveways benefit from targeted repairs rather than full replacement. Lifting sunken sections, repointing block edges, or resurfacing worn areas often extends lifespan by years at fraction of replacement cost.
