Cracked tarmac, sunken block paving, or pooling water making your SW17 property look tired? Those narrow Victorian driveways common throughout Tooting deserve proper attention from specialists who understand local ground conditions.
Response within 24 hours
Between Tooting Bec and Broadway, thousands of period properties struggle with driveway deterioration caused by London clay movement and mature tree roots. Factor in decades of heavy vehicle use on spaces originally designed for horse-drawn carriages, and it's no wonder so many local drives need professional repair. Our team has resurfaced everything from compact Furzedown frontages to the larger plots near Tooting Common.
Proper diagnosis comes first – identifying whether cracks stem from poor original installation, natural settlement, or underground root damage. Surface repairs might mask problems temporarily, but addressing underlying causes prevents costly repeat failures. Modern materials like resin-bound aggregate or permeable block systems help manage the surface water issues particularly common where Victorian properties meet modern drainage requirements.
Based just off Garratt Lane, our crews know every street between Mitcham Road and Balham High Road. Twenty-plus years working on Tooting driveways means recognising which solutions actually last in this specific soil type.

Absolutely – from the Wandsworth border down to Mitcham Lane, including all of Tooting Bec, Broadway and Furzedown. Regular projects on roads like Franciscan Road, Brudenell Road and throughout the Heathfield area.
Simple patching takes 1-2 days including preparation and curing. Full resurfacing of a typical SW17 terrace drive usually completes within 3-5 days, weather permitting.
All structural repairs carry decade-long protection against failure, covering both materials and workmanship. Surface treatments include 5-year guarantees, with annual inspection options available for peace of mind.
Many Tooting driveways just need targeted intervention – filling cracks, relevelling sunken sections, or installing proper drainage channels. Assessment determines whether patching suffices or if underlying issues demand comprehensive renewal.
