Cracked edges, loose blocks or sunken patches can quickly spoil a frontage and become a trip hazard. Our team carries out targeted repairs across KT3, from New Malden High Street to homes near Manor Park. Whether it’s block paving repairs, tarmac patching or pothole repairs, we focus on blending the fix into the existing surface. The result is a driveway that looks consistent, drains properly and feels solid underfoot.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments often comes with varied driveway layouts and shared access. We’re used to working on narrow side drives, dropped kerbs and parking bays where neat edges matter. If your paving has lost jointing, we’ll re-sand and repoint to lock blocks back in place. For tired surfaces, re-sealing can revive colour and improve resistance to staining.
We start with a site visit to identify the cause—movement, failed bedding, poor falls or blocked drainage—then recommend the most cost-effective repair. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear communication on access and curing times. We keep the area clean, remove weeds properly, and dispose of waste responsibly. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, transparent options, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, we often see settlement from older sub-bases and water run-off from short front gardens. In New Malden, access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal carefully. We also factor in tree roots near parks such as Beverley Park and the effect they can have on edging and levels. Our repairs are designed to suit local property styles and typical driveway sizes.

Costs vary with the repair type and the area affected. Small pothole repairs or tarmac patching often start from around £150–£350. Block paving repairs (lifting, re-bedding and re-sanding) commonly fall between £300–£900 depending on how many blocks have moved. Re-sealing is usually priced per m², often £8–£18/m², after cleaning and re-sanding. Drainage fixes can range from £250 to £1,500+ based on complexity.
Many repairs are completed in a single visit. Minor block paving re-sanding, weed removal and small patches can take 2–6 hours. Lifting and relaying a larger sunken section typically takes 1 day, sometimes 2 if the sub-base needs rebuilding. Re-sealing usually needs a dry weather window and curing time, so allow a day for preparation and application. Timescales depend on access, weather, and the extent of drainage work.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are classed as permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering drainage arrangements, or replacing a non-permeable surface over a large area. Properties in conservation areas may also have extra considerations. We’ll advise on compliant solutions, including permeable options and suitable drainage, and can help you check any relevant council guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our driveway repair work is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering workmanship-related issues such as movement in repaired sections, joint failure after repointing/re-sanding, and defects linked to the repair method used. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, impact damage, or underlying issues outside the repaired area (for example, a failing base elsewhere). We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific job in writing.
We can repair and blend most existing surfaces, including block paving, tarmac and edging details. For block paving, we can replace damaged units, refresh joints with kiln-dried sand, and offer re-sealing in matt or satin finishes. For tarmac, we provide neat patching and edge reinstatement where it’s breaking away. If you’re considering upgrades, we can suggest permeable blocks, contrasting borders, and improved drainage channels to suit your property and budget.
