Those frost-damaged flagstones outside your Victorian terrace won't fix themselves. Forest Hill's mix of period properties and sloping terrain creates unique paving challenges that demand local expertise.

Cracked block paving, sunken crazy paving, or wobbly Indian sandstone - SE23's varied geology throws up distinct problems. Clay soil movement affects everything from Honor Oak's tree-lined streets to Sydenham's hillside properties. Years of tackling Forest Hill's notorious London clay means spotting underlying issues others miss.
Proper diagnosis beats quick patches every time. Ground movement requires different treatment to simple wear damage. Matching existing materials proves tricky - especially with older Edwardian properties using original York stone. Sometimes partial relaying solves subsidence better than wholesale replacement, particularly where mature tree roots complicate matters.
Twenty years navigating Forest Hill's steep gradients and period features builds real understanding. Local suppliers know us by name, which helps when tracking down discontinued pavers for seamless repairs.

Small sunken areas (2-3 square metres) generally run £400-£800. Larger collapses involving sub-base work might reach £1,500-£3,000, depending on access and drainage requirements.
Absolutely - from Horniman Gardens down to the South Circular, including all those tricky sloped driveways near Forest Hill station.
Emergency trip hazards often get temporary fixes within 48 hours. Full repairs typically need 3-5 days scheduling, weather permitting.
All structural repairs carry decade-long coverage against settlement or material failure. Surface wear remains separate - that's normal usage rather than defective workmanship.
Colour matching proves challenging with weathered surfaces. Professional cleaning often reveals original tones, whilst specialist sealers can harmonise slight variations between old and new sections.
