If your drive is sinking, cracking or letting weeds take over, targeted repairs can transform it without the cost of a full replacement. We carry out driveway repairs across SE14, including streets near New Cross station and Goldsmiths University. Our team tackles loose blocks, failed joints, potholes and water pooling with a tidy, low-disruption approach. You’ll get a clear plan and a finish that blends with what’s already there.
New Cross and nearby Deptford, Brockley and Peckham feature plenty of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats where access and parking can be tight. Older front gardens often have mixed surfaces laid over time, which need careful matching and levelling. We’re used to repairing drives that have settled around service trenches, tree roots or older sub-bases. Our local experience helps us choose the right fix, not a one-size-fits-all patch.
We start with a site inspection to identify the cause—sub-base movement, drainage issues, failed edge restraints or worn jointing. Then we repair only what’s needed: lifting and relaying blocks, re-sanding and re-sealing, repointing edges, or tarmac patching and pothole repairs. Work is kept clean and organised, with clear timeframes and aftercare guidance. Homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We regularly complete driveway repairs in the New Cross area and across the London Borough of Lewisham, where narrow streets and controlled parking can affect logistics. Many properties have short frontages, shared access or basement conversions, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary, with older sub-bases and historic patching causing dips and rocking blocks. We adapt our repair method to suit the existing build-up and local drainage routes.

Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the affected area and what’s underneath. As a guide, small block paving repairs and re-sanding often start from around £250–£600, while larger lift-and-relay sections can be £700–£1,800+. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs commonly fall between £300–£1,500 depending on depth and preparation. Drainage fixes may add £250–£1,200 based on pipework and soakaway needs.
Most minor repairs—weed removal, re-sanding, re-sealing or a small patch—can be completed in half a day to one day. Lift-and-relay block paving sections or multiple pothole repairs typically take 1–2 days, while repairs combined with drainage fixes may take 2–4 days. Timescales depend on access, the amount of excavation, curing time for sealers or tarmac, and whether we uncover sub-base issues that need stabilising.
In most cases, like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and don’t require planning permission. Rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering access/kerbs, or installing a new impermeable surface that affects drainage. In Lewisham, managing surface water is important, so permeable options or proper drainage may be required for larger changes. We’ll advise on compliant approaches and can help you check any constraints before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that repairs are carried out properly. The warranty covers issues arising from installation, such as failed jointing, movement caused by inadequate preparation in the repaired area, or poor finishing that leads to early deterioration. It doesn’t cover damage from exceptional events (for example, flooding, heavy impact, or underground utility works after completion). We also provide aftercare guidance to maximise lifespan.
We aim to match your existing driveway, but there are options to improve performance and appearance during repairs. For block paving, we can replace damaged blocks, repoint edges, and use kiln-dried sand or resin-based jointing where suitable, then re-seal for colour and stain resistance. For tarmac, we offer neat patching or larger resurfaced bays for a more uniform look. We’ll recommend the best option based on drainage, wear, and how the area is used.
