If your driveway is sinking, cracking or sprouting weeds, small defects can quickly become expensive. We carry out targeted repairs across SW20, helping homeowners near Raynes Park station and Cannon Hill Common keep entrances tidy and secure. Whether it’s loose blocks, failed joints or a pothole that’s catching tyres, we fix the cause as well as the surface. Expect neat edges, level finishes and a driveway that drains properly.
Raynes Park has plenty of 1930s semis with generous front drives, alongside Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses where access can be tighter. These properties often have older sub-bases, tired edging and patched areas that need careful blending. We match existing blocks and finishes wherever possible, so repairs don’t look like an afterthought. For clients in Wimbledon, New Malden and Motspur Park, we also advise on upgrades that reduce future movement and staining.
Our process starts with a site inspection to identify movement, water run-off and sub-base issues. We then recommend the most cost-effective option: repointing, re-sanding, re-sealing, block replacement, tarmac patching or drainage corrections. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with clear communication on access and curing times. Every job is finished to a high standard and backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Merton, many drives sit on mixed ground and older sub-bases that shift over time, especially where water isn’t channelled correctly. Around Prince George's Playing Fields and West Barnes, we often see surface water pooling from worn falls or blocked channels. We plan repairs around on-street parking and access, and we keep waste removal tidy and compliant. Our approach suits family homes where you need the drive usable again quickly.

Costs depend on the surface type, size of the affected area and what’s causing the failure. As a guide, weed removal and re-sanding for block paving is often £150–£450, while repointing or re-sealing typically ranges £300–£900. Localised block paving repairs or lifting and relaying sunken sections commonly fall between £400–£1,500. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs are usually £250–£1,200 depending on depth and prep.
Many driveway repairs are completed in a single visit. Small block paving repairs, re-sanding, repointing or weed removal often take 2–6 hours, while larger lifted-and-relayed areas may take 1–2 days. Tarmac patching is commonly done within a day, but curing time can affect when you can park on it. Timescales vary with access, weather, the amount of excavation needed and whether drainage fixes are included.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering access/kerbs, or installing new impermeable surfacing that affects drainage. In the London Borough of Merton, managing surface water is important, so permeable solutions or proper run-off control may be required for larger changes. We’ll advise what’s likely permitted and flag anything that needs checking.
Yes. Our driveway repair work is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as joint failure, settlement from inadequate preparation, and premature breakdown of repaired sections (subject to fair use). The warranty doesn’t cover damage from vehicle leaks, accidental impact, or underlying issues outside the repaired area that later affect the surface. We’ll explain what’s covered on your quote and provide care guidance to extend lifespan.
We can repair and blend most existing finishes, including block paving (standard, tumbled or contemporary), tarmac/asphalt, and jointing options such as kiln-dried sand or resin-based compounds where suitable. For protection, we offer re-sealing to enhance colour and reduce staining, and we can replace edging to sharpen lines. If you want a refreshed look, we’ll suggest compatible blocks, patterns and sealers that suit your property style and drainage needs.
