That driveway crack getting wider each winter? Victorian terraces throughout Croydon face unique challenges with original paving settling over decades. Let's sort it properly before the next frost makes things worse.
Response within 24 hours
Croydon's mix of clay soil and heavy rainfall creates particular havoc for paved surfaces. Whether it's your Waddon semi's block paving shifting after last summer's drought or those stubborn puddles forming on your South Croydon drive, proper repair techniques make all the difference. Years of fixing everything from tiny pathway cracks to complete driveway subsidence means recognising exactly what's causing your specific problem.
Repairing paving correctly involves more than just filling gaps with sand. First comes lifting affected areas to check the sub-base - often revealing root damage from those massive London planes lining Selhurst streets. Compacting fresh aggregate, relevelling with precision equipment, then reinstating blocks or slabs ensures repairs last decades not months. Small patches typically take an afternoon; larger subsidence issues might need three days including proper curing time.
Twenty-five years mending Croydon driveways builds serious local knowledge. Those 1930s properties near Lloyd Park need different approaches than newer estates around Roundshaw. Every repair gets the same meticulous attention, whether fixing two loose blocks or reconstructing entire sections.

Usually yes - maintaining good relationships with suppliers means sourcing discontinued lines others can't find. Worst case, careful cleaning and treating surrounding blocks helps blend repairs. Sometimes strategic replacement creates intentional patterns rather than obvious patches.
