Those persistent cracks spreading across your driveway aren't going away on their own. Sanderstead's clay soil shifts with the seasons, creating problems that worsen every winter.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian and Edwardian homes throughout CR2 face unique challenges with their driveways. Clay soil movement, mature tree roots from the area's abundant greenery, and decades of wear take their toll. Whether you're dealing with sunken sections near the pavement or water pooling by your garage, proper repairs require understanding local ground conditions.
Effective repairs start with identifying why damage occurred. Root infiltration from Sanderstead's characteristic oak and lime trees often destabilises foundations.
