Response within 24 hours
Cracked surfaces, loose blocks and potholes can quickly make parking a hassle and create trip hazards. Our team carries out targeted repairs across SW2, including around Tulse Hill station and routes towards Brockwell Park. We fix the cause as well as the symptoms, whether that’s failed edging, poor falls or blocked drainage. Expect neat finishes that blend with your existing driveway rather than patchy, obvious repairs.
Tulse Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates often have older drive constructions that need careful, compatible repairs. Block paving may require repointing and re-sanding after years of traffic and pressure washing, while tarmac can split where the base has softened. We also see weed growth in joints and sunken areas where water sits after heavy rain. Our local experience helps us choose the right method and materials for each property type.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, sub-base stability and drainage performance, then recommend the most cost-effective repair plan. Typical work includes pothole repairs, re-sealing, weed removal, and precise tarmac patching or block replacement to match your current layout. We keep disruption low, protect neighbouring surfaces, and leave the area tidy at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re familiar with access constraints and parking pressures across the London Borough of Lambeth, including residential roads near Brixton and Herne Hill. Many driveways here sit on older sub-bases, so we check for settlement before resurfacing or re-sanding. Where water run-off is an issue, we adjust falls and install practical drainage fixes to protect the property. If waste permits or skip placement are needed, we plan around local rules and neighbours.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on the surface type, the size of the affected area and whether the base needs stabilising. For guidance, small pothole repairs or tarmac patching often start from £150–£350, while block paving repairs with lifting, re-levelling and re-sanding commonly fall around £300–£900. Re-sealing is usually priced by area, often £6–£12 per m². Drainage fixes can add £250–£1,200 depending on complexity.
Most driveway repairs are completed within half a day to two days. Small block paving repairs, weed removal and re-sanding can often be done in a single visit, while larger sunken sections may need lifting, re-compacting and re-laying over one to two days. Tarmac patching is typically quick, but curing time and access restrictions can affect when you can park. Drainage work may extend the programme if trenches are required.
In many cases, driveway repairs are classed as permitted development because you’re maintaining an existing surface. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels, altering access/kerbs, or creating a new impermeable area that affects surface-water run-off. The London Borough of Lambeth may also have guidance on drainage and highway works. We’ll advise on best practice and can help you confirm requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty, covering issues such as failed joints, movement caused by poor installation, and premature breakdown of repaired sections (subject to normal use and maintenance). The warranty applies to the repair work we carry out, including re-sanding, repointing, re-sealing and drainage fixes where installed by us. We’ll also explain any manufacturer guarantees on sealers or materials used for your project.
We aim to match what you already have, but you can also upgrade sections for a refreshed look. Popular options include replacing worn blocks with new concrete or clay pavers, adding contrasting edging, and using jointing compounds for a cleaner finish. For tarmac, we can patch with matching material and improve edges to reduce crumbling. We’ll recommend sealers (matt or satin) and practical drainage solutions to suit your driveway’s layout and use.
