That driveway crack you've been stepping over for months? It's time to sort it properly. From Victorian villa entrances to modern block paving, Banstead's diverse properties deserve surfaces that work as hard as their owners do.
Response within 24 hours
Banstead's chalk downland location brings unique challenges for paved surfaces. Heavy clay soils shift with the seasons, tree roots from mature oaks push through seemingly solid foundations, and those steep driveways common near Epsom Downs take a battering from daily use. Whether you're dealing with loose blocks outside your SM7 home or pondering that expanding crack near the garage, understanding the root cause matters more than a quick cosmetic fix.
Proper repair starts beneath what you can see. Excavating damaged sections reveals whether subsidence, poor drainage, or simply time has caused the problem. Fresh sub-base material gets compacted to the correct depth - crucial on Banstead's variable ground conditions. Individual blocks lift out cleanly for spot repairs, while larger areas might need complete relevelling. The final surface must match existing levels perfectly, ensuring rainwater flows where it should, not towards your front door.
Twenty years working across Nork, Tadworth and the Downs means recognising patterns others might miss. Local knowledge counts when your driveway shares boundaries with protected trees or sits on former farmland with unpredictable ground conditions.

Small patch repairs on block paving start around £200-400, while resurfacing a standard double driveway ranges from £1,500-3,000. Victorian properties with larger frontages or complicated drainage often sit higher, between £3,500-5,000 depending on the underlying issues discovered.
Yes, the entire SM7 district falls within our regular working area, including properties near Banstead station, homes around the village centre, and those sprawling plots backing onto the Downs. Nork and Tadworth residents also benefit from our local presence.
Minor repairs typically wrap up within a day. Extensive relevelling or drainage work on a standard Banstead driveway usually takes 3-4 days, weather permitting. Larger period properties might need a full week, especially if matching specific materials.
All structural repairs carry a decade-long guarantee covering settlement and workmanship. This means if your repaired section develops issues related to our work within ten years, we return to rectify it without charge - particularly reassuring given Banstead's ground movement tendencies.
Most standard blocks remain available, though weathering means perfect colour matching isn't always possible. For discontinued styles, we source reclaimed materials or suggest subtle design adjustments that enhance rather than highlight the repaired areas. Sometimes a contrasting border turns a repair into a feature.
