Response within 24 hours
Uneven blocks, loose edging or a spreading pothole can quickly spoil a frontage and become a trip hazard. Our team carries out targeted repairs across SE22, from Lordship Lane to the streets near Dulwich Park. Whether it’s re-sanding block paving, re-sealing tired surfaces or patching tarmac, we focus on neat joins and a consistent finish. You’ll get a driveway that looks cared-for and performs properly in wet weather.
East Dulwich’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have compact front gardens and shared access, so repairs need careful planning. We’re used to working around narrow driveways, bay-window frontages and older drainage layouts common around Peckham Rye and Dulwich Village. If your paving has settled or your tarmac has cracked, we’ll identify the cause before we repair the surface. That means fewer repeat issues and a better long-term result.
We start with a site visit, then recommend the most cost-effective repair: block paving repairs, repointing, re-sanding, re-sealing, weed removal, pothole repairs, tarmac patching or drainage fixes. Every job is completed with tidy edges, proper compaction and careful clean-down at the end of each day. We’re based just 20 minutes away, so it’s easy to schedule follow-up or additional works. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable timings and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We carry out driveway repairs in the East Dulwich area with an eye on Southwark’s practical constraints: controlled parking, tight access and busy school-run streets. Ground levels and older gullies can cause pooling, so we check falls, channels and soakaway performance before sealing or patching. Where period properties have retained original thresholds and steps, we keep levels correct to avoid damp bridging. Our approach suits everything from SE22 terraces to larger homes near Peckham Rye.

Costs depend on surface type, access and how deep the repair needs to go. As a guide, small block paving repairs and re-sanding often start around £250–£600, while re-sealing is typically £6–£12 per m². Tarmac patching and pothole repairs commonly fall between £300–£1,200 depending on area and base condition. Drainage fixes vary widely, usually £350–£1,800. We’ll confirm after a site inspection in SE22.
Many repairs are completed in a day, especially re-sanding, weed removal, repointing and small block paving lifts and relays. Larger works—such as multiple pothole repairs, extensive tarmac patching or drainage corrections—often take 2–3 days. Drying/curing time can add a little longer, particularly for sealing and tarmac. Timescales depend on weather, access for materials, and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding.
Most driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering drainage, or creating a new or enlarged hardstanding. In the London Borough of Southwark, you should ensure surface water drains to a permeable area or suitable system rather than the highway. We’ll advise on compliant options and can adapt repairs to meet current guidance.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that repairs have been carried out correctly. The warranty covers issues linked to installation quality, such as failed joints, poor compaction leading to settlement, or defective patch edges, provided the driveway is used normally and maintained sensibly. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy commercial loads, or problems caused by underlying utilities. We’ll explain care steps after completion.
We aim to match what you already have, but you can also upgrade the finish during repairs. For block paving, options include replacing damaged blocks, changing edge restraints, and choosing kiln-dried sand with a fresh re-seal for colour lift. For tarmac, we can patch with close colour matching and improve edges to reduce crumbling. We’ll recommend the best approach based on your driveway’s age, style and budget.
