Our team carries out targeted repairs across CR2, from quick pothole repairs to full re-sanding and re-sealing.

The aim is simple: a neat finish that blends with what you already have.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, and each tends to have different driveway layouts and edging details. We match existing block paving patterns, restore worn joints with repointing, and tidy up borders so repairs don’t stand out. In areas such as Sanderstead and Purley, we often see settlement at thresholds and drainage issues near garages. Our repair approach is chosen to suit the property style and the way you use the space.
We start with an on-site inspection to identify the cause—failed sub-base, water pooling, root disruption or joint loss—then recommend the most cost-effective fix. Repairs can include lifting and relaying blocks, tarmac patching, re-sealing, weed removal and drainage fixes to prevent repeat problems. Work is kept tidy, with clear communication on access and curing times. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, durable materials and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the driveway repairs South Croydon area, we often find movement from tired sub-bases and water run-off after heavy rain. Narrower drives and on-street parking can affect access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for tree roots and leaf fall near green spaces such as Croham Hurst Woods, which can accelerate joint loss and block gullies. Our methods suit the property mix and typical driveway gradients found locally.

Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the affected area and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding. As a guide, small pothole repairs or tarmac patching often start from around £150–£350. Block paving repairs (lifting, re-levelling and re-sanding) commonly range from £300–£900. Larger areas, drainage fixes or re-sealing can take totals to £900–£2,500+. We’ll inspect first and provide options.
Most minor repairs are completed in half a day to one day, such as re-sanding, weed removal, small patching or replacing a few blocks. More involved work—like lifting and relaying a sunken section, repointing edges, or adding drainage channels—typically takes 1–3 days. Timescales vary with access, weather, curing times for sealers, and whether we uncover a failed sub-base that needs rebuilding.
In many cases, driveway repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t require planning permission. The main rules tend to relate to new or altered hardstanding and surface water drainage, especially if you’re changing levels or materials. If a repair involves adding drainage or replacing a large area, we’ll advise on compliant solutions (such as permeable finishes or directing run-off to a soakaway). We always check site specifics before starting.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering issues linked to the repair work we’ve carried out—such as relaid sections settling due to installation faults or jointing failures where we’ve re-sanded or repointed. It doesn’t cover new damage from heavy impacts, oil spills, or problems caused by existing unseen defects outside the repaired area. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
We repair and refresh most common driveway surfaces, including block paving (standard, tumbled or clay), tarmac and asphalt, and mixed drives with edging details. For block paving, we can re-sand with kiln-dried sand, replace damaged blocks, and apply sealers in matt or satin finishes. For tarmac, we patch and blend to reduce visible joins. We’ll recommend options based on drainage needs, colour matching and long-term durability.
