If your driveway is sinking, cracking or littered with weeds, we can put it right quickly and cleanly. We carry out targeted repairs across BR2, including around Shortlands station and the roads leading towards Beckenham and Bromley. Whether it’s loose blocks, a spreading pothole or standing water after rain, we’ll diagnose the cause and repair the surface—not just the symptoms. Expect neat edges, matched materials where possible, and a finish that looks intentional.
Shortlands is known for its quiet, affluent streets and period homes, and driveways here often need a careful touch. Large Edwardian houses and Victorian villas frequently have older sub-bases and heritage-style block paving that benefits from repointing and re-sealing. 1930s properties commonly have tarmac or mixed surfaces where patching and drainage upgrades make a big difference. Our team is used to working on occupied homes with tight access and keeping disruption to a minimum.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage falls and the condition of the sub-base, then recommend the most cost-effective fix. Repairs can include re-sanding, re-sealing, weed removal, repointing, pothole repairs, block replacement and tarmac patching, with clear options and no pressure. We protect borders, tidy up thoroughly, and keep you updated throughout. Homeowners choose us for durable workmanship, straightforward advice and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Bromley, we often see driveways affected by clay-heavy ground and seasonal movement, leading to dips and opened joints. Parking and access can be tight near Shortlands Golf Club and commuter routes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things smooth. Many properties have mature trees, so we account for root pressure and leaf debris that encourages moss and weeds. Our repairs are tailored to the driveway’s age, construction and how you actually use it.

Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the affected area and whether the sub-base needs attention. As a guide, small block paving repairs and re-sanding often start around £250–£600, while larger lift-and-relay sections with repointing can be £800–£2,000+. Tarmac patching and pothole repairs commonly fall between £300–£1,500. Drainage fixes vary widely, typically £450–£2,500 depending on channels and soakaway needs.
Many driveway repairs in the Shortlands area can be completed in a day, especially re-sanding, re-sealing, weed removal and small patching. Larger block paving repairs that involve lifting, re-levelling and compacting may take 1–3 days depending on the area and access. Drainage fixes can add time if new channels, pipework or a soakaway are required. Weather, curing times and material availability can also affect the schedule.
Most like-for-like driveway repairs are permitted and don’t need planning permission, particularly when you’re repairing existing block paving or tarmac. Rules can apply if you’re changing the surface significantly, altering levels near the highway, or installing non-permeable surfacing over a large front garden area. In the London Borough of Bromley, drainage and permeable solutions are often important for compliance. We’ll advise what’s needed and can help you choose compliant materials and drainage details.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that repairs will perform as intended. The warranty covers issues caused by installation or repair defects, such as movement in repaired sections, failed jointing where we’ve repointed, or premature breakdown of patched areas under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover damage from third parties, oil spills, extreme ground movement, or misuse. We’ll explain care and maintenance to help your driveway last.
We can repair and refresh most driveway types, including block paving, tarmac and mixed surfaces. Popular options include replacing damaged blocks with matching or complementary colours, re-sanding with kiln-dried sand, re-sealing for colour enhancement and stain resistance, and repointing for a sharper, more stable finish. For tarmac, we can patch, re-edge and blend repairs to reduce visible joins. We’ll recommend options based on your property style, budget and how you park and turn.
