Those telltale cracks spreading across your drive aren't going away on their own. Whether it's tree root damage from Putney's mature street oaks or simply decades of wear, deteriorating driveways need proper attention before minor issues become major headaches.
Response within 24 hours
Putney's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring their own driveway challenges. Victorian homes near the Common often struggle with subsidence affecting original brick paving, while properties closer to the High Street face constant delivery vehicle damage. Understanding these local patterns helps target repairs effectively, saving both time and unnecessary disruption.
Proper assessment starts with identifying the root cause - literally in many SW15 gardens where established trees create underground havoc. Surface patching rarely lasts without addressing underlying issues first. Modern resin-bound techniques work particularly well for sloped drives common in hillier parts toward Roehampton, creating seamless repairs that match existing surfaces perfectly. Cold-lay options suit smaller residential jobs, while hot-mix solutions handle heavier traffic areas.
Twenty years working across Putney means recognising problems before they escalate. Local knowledge matters when navigating conservation requirements near the heath or managing repairs around busy school-run schedules.

Often yes - many driveways just need strategic intervention. Lifting and relaying sunken sections, replacing damaged blocks, and proper re-sanding can restore functionality without starting from scratch. This approach particularly suits period properties where matching original materials matters.
