Response within 24 hours
Cracked tarmac, loose blocks or a pothole by the entrance can quickly become a trip hazard and an eyesore. Our team carries out targeted driveway repairs across SE11, including around The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station. We match existing materials where possible so repairs don’t shout “patch job”. From weed-choked joints to sunken areas, we focus on long-lasting fixes rather than quick cosmetic covers.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often come with compact forecourts, shared access and tight boundaries. That means repairs need careful setting-out, clean edges and minimal disruption to neighbours. We’re used to working on older paving where jointing has washed out and on tarmac that’s fatigued from turning vehicles and bin lorries. If you’re in Kennington, Stockwell or Brixton, we’ll tailor the repair to the surface and the way you use it.
We start with a site inspection to identify the cause—failed sub-base, poor falls, blocked channels or edge restraint movement. Then we repair: lifting and relaying blocks, repointing, re-sanding and re-sealing, or tarmac patching and pothole repairs with proper compaction. We keep the area tidy, protect thresholds and leave clear aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for transparent advice, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lambeth, many properties have limited off-street space and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground levels and older surfaces can create standing water, especially where falls were never set correctly, so drainage fixes are often part of the solution. We also account for heavy foot traffic and tight turning circles near busier roads around Vauxhall and Kennington. Our approach keeps access practical while delivering a finish that suits period façades.

Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the damaged area and whether the sub-base has failed. For SE11 homes, small block paving repairs and re-sanding typically start from £250–£600, while larger lift-and-relay sections can be £800–£2,000+. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs often range from £300–£1,500 depending on depth and access. Drainage fixes or channel installation may add £400–£1,200.
Most driveway repairs in the Oval area are completed in a day, especially re-sanding, weed removal, repointing and small block or tarmac patches. Larger repairs—such as lifting a wider section to rebuild the base, or installing drainage channels—can take 2–3 days. Timescales vary with curing times for tarmac, weather, access restrictions, and whether we need to source matching blocks or carry out re-sealing after the surface has dried.
In many cases, like-for-like driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing materials, altering levels, creating new hardstanding, or affecting drainage to the public highway. Sustainable drainage requirements may apply, particularly if water would run onto the pavement. We’ll advise on compliant options, check any relevant Lambeth guidance, and recommend permeable solutions or proper drainage where needed.
Yes. Our driveway repair work comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including issues such as failed joints from poor preparation, loosening caused by inadequate compaction, or defects linked to our installation. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from external causes like heavy vehicle overloading, oil spills left untreated, or ground movement from third-party works. We also provide aftercare advice for sealing, cleaning and weed prevention to help the repair last.
We can repair and blend into existing block paving, clay pavers, or tarmac, and we’ll source close matches for colour and size where possible. Options include re-sanding with kiln-dried sand, resin-compatible jointing compounds, and re-sealing for a richer finish and easier maintenance. For tarmac, we can patch, edge-in neatly, or recommend resurfacing if the surface is widely fatigued. We’ll help you choose based on appearance, drainage, and expected traffic.
