Response within 24 hours
Cracked surfacing, loose blocks and potholes can quickly make a driveway look tired and become a trip hazard. Our team carries out targeted repairs across SE5, from Camberwell Green to Denmark Hill station. Whether it’s a small tarmac patch or a full re-sand and re-seal, we focus on durable fixes that blend in with the existing finish. You’ll get clear advice on what needs repairing now and what can wait.
Camberwell’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means driveways vary from compact front gardens to larger shared accessways. We’re used to working around narrow entrances, basement lightwells and period edging details, keeping the look in keeping with the property. If you’re near King’s College Hospital or on routes with heavier traffic, we’ll recommend tougher repair methods where needed. For homes bordering Dulwich or Brixton, we can also match existing paving styles commonly used locally.
We start with a site inspection to identify movement, drainage issues and the cause of cracking or sinking. Repairs may include lifting and re-laying blocks, repointing, re-sanding, re-sealing, pothole repairs, weed removal and drainage fixes to stop problems returning. We protect surrounding planting, keep the site tidy, and provide written recommendations before work begins. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, careful workmanship and a finish that lasts.
As a driveway repairs Camberwell area specialist, we’re familiar with Southwark’s busy streets, controlled parking zones and limited skip space. Many SE5 properties have short frontages, so we plan materials deliveries and curing times to keep access practical. Local clay-heavy ground and older sub-bases can contribute to movement, so we focus on proper re-bedding and compaction rather than surface-only fixes. We also advise on drainage solutions that suit typical Camberwell layouts.

Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the damaged area and what’s underneath. Minor block paving repairs and re-sanding typically start from around £250–£600. Tarmac patching or pothole repairs often fall between £300–£900 depending on depth and access. Larger areas needing re-laying, repointing, re-sealing and drainage fixes can range from £900–£3,000+. We provide a site-based quote after inspection.
Most small repairs are completed in half a day to one day, such as lifting and re-laying a few sunken blocks, re-sanding joints or patching a pothole. Medium repairs involving multiple patches, re-sealing or repointing commonly take 1–2 days. If drainage fixes or sub-base rebuilding is required, allow 2–4 days. Timescales vary with curing time, weather, access restrictions and the amount of excavation needed.
In most cases, like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and won’t need planning permission. Rules can change if you’re altering levels, changing materials significantly, adding new drainage runs, or creating a new dropped kerb access. Permeable surfacing and proper drainage are important to comply with SuDS guidance. We’ll advise on the best compliant approach and, where needed, help you understand Southwark requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering defects arising from installation or repair methods, such as failed jointing, poor compaction leading to settlement, or premature breakdown of repaired areas under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, heavy commercial vehicles, flooding, or lack of maintenance like ignoring weed growth. We’ll explain aftercare and provide guidance to maximise lifespan.
We can repair and blend most common driveway finishes, including block paving (standard, tumbled or clay pavers), tarmac/asphalt, and resin-bound patch areas where appropriate. For block paving, we can refresh the look with re-sanding, re-sealing and colour-matched jointing. We’ll help you choose a finish that suits your property style—whether a Georgian frontage or a modern apartment—and recommend options that improve drainage and reduce future weeds.
