Uneven blocks, loose edging and potholes can quickly make parking awkward and unsafe. We carry out targeted repairs across SE23, including around Honor Oak Park station and up towards One Tree Hill. Whether it’s re-sanding block paving or a neat tarmac patch, we match existing finishes so repairs don’t stand out. Our aim is to extend the life of your driveway without pushing a full replacement.
Honor Oak’s hilly streets and mixed surfaces mean driveways take a beating from runoff and braking. We regularly work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis where original falls and older drainage can cause recurring puddles. If your drive sits on a slope, we’ll prioritise grip, tidy joints and robust edge restraints. For nearby Forest Hill and Brockley properties, we also repair shared crossovers and narrow access driveways with care.
We start with an on-site assessment, checking the base, levels, drainage routes and any movement around thresholds. Repairs are then completed using compatible materials: repointing and re-sanding for block paving, re-sealing where needed, and durable pothole and tarmac patching. We keep disruption low, protect surrounding paving and leave the site clean. Homeowners choose us for straightforward advice, dependable scheduling and workmanship backed by a written warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many SE23 driveways sit on gradients and receive heavy runoff during downpours. We adjust falls, add or repair drainage channels, and stabilise edges to prevent block creep on slopes. Access and parking can be tight near Nunhead and Peckham Rye routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our methods suit period front gardens and compact forecourts common in Honor Oak.

Costs depend on the repair type, area size and whether the base has failed. As a guide, small pothole or tarmac patching often starts around £150–£350, while block paving lift-and-relay repairs commonly fall between £300–£900. Re-sanding and re-sealing are usually priced by square metre, often £6–£18/m² depending on preparation. Drainage fixes vary widely, typically £250–£1,200+.
Many repairs are completed in a single visit. Simple weed removal, re-sanding or small patching can take 2–6 hours, while larger block paving repairs or repointing may take 1–2 days. Re-sealing usually needs a dry window and curing time, so we may return to apply sealant after preparation. Timescales depend on access, weather, the extent of movement, and whether drainage adjustments are required.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering access across the pavement, or installing new drainage that affects runoff to the highway. In the London Borough of Lewisham, permeable surfacing and proper drainage are important to avoid water discharging onto the road. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and advise on next steps.
Yes. Our driveway repair work is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship, provided the repaired area is used as intended and maintained sensibly. The warranty covers issues such as premature joint failure, lifting due to poor installation, or defective patch bonding where applicable. It doesn’t cover damage from heavy vehicles beyond design load, ground movement outside the repaired area, or accidental impact. We explain coverage clearly before starting.
We aim to match what you already have, but you still have options. For block paving, we can replace damaged blocks, change jointing (kiln-dried sand or resin jointing), and apply a suitable sealant finish (matt or satin). For tarmac, we can patch, re-edge, and blend with fresh wearing course where needed. We’ll recommend the best approach based on colour match, drainage needs, and how you park and turn on the drive.
