Cracked tarmac, loose blocks and potholes quickly make parking awkward and can trip up visitors. Our team carries out targeted repairs across SE11, including around Kennington Park and the Oval. We fix the cause as well as the surface, so patches don’t fail after the next downpour. If your drive is sinking, spreading or weeding through, we’ll bring it back to a clean, solid finish.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often have compact frontages and shared access, so repairs need to be precise and considerate. We regularly work on block paved drives, small tarmac bays and mixed surfaces where older edging and steps must be protected. Many properties also have historic drainage layouts, making correct falls and channel placement essential. Our local experience means we plan repairs that suit the building, not just the driveway.
We start with an on-site inspection, checking sub-base stability, edging, levels and drainage routes before recommending the most cost-effective repair. Typical work includes repointing, re-sanding, re-sealing, weed removal, pothole repairs and drainage fixes, completed with minimal disruption. You’ll receive a written scope, clear timescales and tidy site management from start to finish. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means controlled parking, narrow streets and timed deliveries, especially near Kennington tube station and Vauxhall routes. We plan materials and waste removal to suit access and keep neighbours informed. Kennington’s clay-heavy ground can contribute to settlement, so we check sub-base condition and reinstate edges properly. Our approach is tailored to period front gardens and hardstandings where levels and drainage must be spot-on.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on surface type, area size and whether the sub-base needs attention. As a guide, small pothole or tarmac patch repairs often start from around £150–£350, while block paving repairs (lifting, re-laying and re-sanding) are commonly £300–£900. Re-sealing is typically £6–£12 per m² after preparation. Drainage fixes can range from £250 to £1,500+ depending on channels and connections.
Many repairs are completed in half a day to one day, such as replacing a few blocks, repointing, or patching tarmac. Larger areas, drainage alterations or multiple issues (settlement plus re-sanding and sealing) may take 2–3 days. Drying and curing times can add a little longer, especially for sealers or new tarmac. Access, parking restrictions in SE11, and weather are the main factors affecting duration.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and don’t require planning permission, particularly when you’re patching, re-laying existing blocks, or re-sanding and sealing. Rules can change if you’re altering levels, adding new drainage connections, or creating a brand-new hardstanding. Permeable surfacing and compliant drainage are important to avoid runoff onto the highway. We’ll advise what applies and can help you check Lambeth requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our driveway repair work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as failed joints, movement caused by incorrect installation, or patch edges lifting where we’ve repaired and reinstated. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third parties, heavy vehicles beyond design load, or underlying problems we’ve advised need further remedial work. We document the repair method and aftercare so you know how to keep the finish looking its best.
We can match and repair most common drive surfaces, including block paving (standard, tegula and clay), tarmac, and mixed edging details. For block paving, options include kiln-dried sand joints or resin-based jointing for improved weed resistance, plus sealers in matt or satin finishes. For tarmac, we can patch and re-texture to blend with the existing surface. We’ll recommend the best option based on appearance, drainage, and how you use the driveway.
