Cracked tarmac, loose blocks and potholes can quickly spoil a driveway and create trip hazards. Our team delivers targeted repairs across Richmond, from properties near Richmond Green to homes close to Richmond Bridge. We handle everything from block paving repairs and repointing to weed removal and re-sealing. The aim is simple: a driveway that looks smart and performs properly in all weather.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often have older sub-bases, edging details and drainage layouts that need careful attention. In Kew and Petersham we frequently see sunken block paving from historic settlement, while Twickenham driveways often suffer from heavy vehicle wear and patchy tarmac. We match materials and finishes so repairs blend in, not stand out. If you’re in TW9 or TW10, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective fix rather than pushing a full replacement.
We start with a site check to identify the cause—failed joints, poor falls, clogged channels or a weak sub-base—then propose a clear repair plan. Works typically include lifting and re-laying blocks, tarmac patching, pothole repairs, re-sanding and re-sealing where needed. We protect planting, keep access practical, and leave the area clean and safe at the end of each day. Every job is backed by transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we often contend with tree roots, leaf fall and surface water run-off—especially near Richmond Park. Many streets have controlled parking and limited access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for riverside moisture and shaded areas that encourage algae and joint weed growth. Our approach is tailored to the property style and the practical realities of Richmond roads and driveways.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by surface type, the size of the damaged area and whether the cause is structural. As a guide, small pothole repairs or tarmac patching often start from around £150–£350, while block paving lift-and-relay repairs commonly fall between £300–£900. Re-sanding and re-sealing is typically priced per square metre, often £8–£20/m² depending on preparation. Drainage fixes can range from £250 to £1,500+.
Many repairs can be completed in a single visit, especially minor pothole repairs, weed removal and re-sanding. Block paving repairs that involve lifting, re-levelling and re-pointing typically take 1–2 days depending on the area and access. Tarmac patching is often done within a day, with curing time affecting when you can park on it. Drainage fixes may add time if channels or soakaways need adjustment.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t require planning permission. Rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage to the public highway, or installing new impermeable surfacing over a front garden area. Conservation areas and listed buildings may also have extra considerations in parts of Richmond. We’ll advise what’s likely permitted and, if needed, help you check requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our driveway repair work comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the performance of the repaired area under normal domestic use. This includes issues such as premature sinking of re-laid blocks, joint failure where we’ve repointed, or defects in tarmac patches caused by poor installation. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement outside the repaired zone, or neglect such as blocked drainage. We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing.
We aim to match your existing driveway, but there are options to improve the look and durability at the same time. For block paving, we can replace damaged blocks, adjust edging, and choose jointing sand or resin-based compounds for better weed resistance. For tarmac, we can patch with standard or fine-grade finishes and tidy worn edges. We also offer re-sealing in matt or satin finishes and can suggest drainage channel styles that suit period and riverside properties.
