If your driveway has sunk blocks, loose edges or potholes, small defects can quickly become costly. We carry out targeted repairs across SE1 and SE17, including around Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre and Elephant Park. Our team fixes the cause as well as the surface, so repairs don’t fail after the first heavy rain. Expect clear advice, neat workmanship and minimal disruption.
Elephant & Castle’s mix of Victorian terraces, modern high-rises and new-build apartments means driveways and forecourts vary widely in build-up and access. In Kennington and Walworth, we often see older block paving needing repointing, re-sanding and weed removal. Near Strata Tower and newer developments, we’re frequently called for drainage tweaks and tidy patch repairs to keep entrances looking sharp. We tailor materials and finishes to suit the property and the street scene.
We start with a site check to identify movement, water pooling and failed joints, then recommend the most cost-effective repair. Typical work includes block paving repairs, tarmac patching, pothole repairs, re-sealing and re-sanding, plus drainage fixes where required. You’ll get a written scope, honest timescales and a clean handover with waste removed. Homeowners choose us for dependable results and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Southwark, we regularly work around busy roads, controlled parking zones and tight access points. Ground movement and poor falls can cause water to sit, especially on older forecourts near Newington and Borough. We plan deliveries, protect thresholds and keep walkways safe throughout. Where drainage is the issue, we adjust levels and channels to meet practical site constraints.

Costs depend on the repair type, access and how far the damage has spread. Minor re-sanding, weed removal and spot repointing often start around £180–£450. Small pothole repairs or tarmac patching are commonly £250–£750. Larger block paving repairs with lifting, re-bedding and re-sealing can range from £650–£2,500+. We’ll inspect and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most driveway repairs are completed in a single visit. Re-sanding, weed removal and re-sealing typically take half a day to one day, depending on size and drying conditions. Lifting and relaying sunken block paving often takes 1–2 days, while drainage fixes or multiple patches can take 2–3 days. Weather, curing times and access restrictions around SE1/SE17 can affect scheduling.
Many driveway repair works are classed as permitted development, especially like-for-like repairs such as patching, re-sanding and re-sealing. However, if you’re altering levels, adding new drainage connections, or changing a front garden surface to non-permeable materials, rules can apply. Conservation area considerations may also affect certain properties. We’ll flag any potential requirements and advise on compliant, permeable options.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying repairs and reinstatement works, covering issues such as premature joint failure, lifting due to poor bedding, or patch breakdown caused by installation defects. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy impact, oil/chemical spills, or underlying problems that weren’t visible at inspection. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific repair before we start.
We aim to blend repairs seamlessly with your existing driveway, whether it’s block paving or tarmac. For blocks, we can match sizes and colours, refresh joints with kiln-dried sand, and apply a suitable sealant finish (matt or satin). For tarmac, we use durable patching and edge detailing to reduce cracking. We’ll recommend options based on drainage, appearance, and how you use the space.
