Response within 24 hours
Loose blocks, rocking slabs and weeds pushing through joints can quickly make paving look tired and become a trip hazard. Our team carries out targeted repairs across SE1 and SE17, including around Elephant Park and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. We fix the cause, not just the symptoms, so the surface looks consistent and performs properly. Expect neat edges, stable levels and joints that stay put.
Elephant & Castle has a mix of modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments, each with different access and paving layouts. We regularly repair small courtyards, communal paths and front approaches where settlement or heavy footfall has shifted the surface. In nearby Walworth and Kennington, period properties often have older sub-bases that benefit from careful re-levelling and edge repairs. For newer developments, we match existing block colours and laying patterns to keep everything uniform.
We start with an on-site inspection to identify movement, drainage issues and joint failure, then recommend the most cost-effective repair plan. Typical work includes block replacement, re-sanding, re-levelling, pointing repairs, weed treatment, cleaning, sealing and edge repairs. We protect surrounding walls and thresholds, keep disruption low, and leave the area tidy. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, durable workmanship and a written 10-year warranty.
As a major transport hub and regeneration zone, Elephant & Castle often has restricted access, timed deliveries and limited parking. We plan materials and waste removal to suit busy streets near Strata Tower and the South Bank. Ground conditions can vary between older terrace plots and newer landscaped podiums, so we adjust sub-base repairs and drainage falls accordingly. We also work with Southwark requirements on permeable surfaces where needed.

Costs depend on the repair type and how much of the area has moved. As a guide, small fixes such as re-sanding and weed treatment typically start around £150–£350. Re-levelling a few square metres or replacing damaged blocks is often £350–£900. Larger sections needing lift, sub-base correction, edge repairs and re-laying can be £900–£2,500+. We provide a site-specific quote after inspection.
Many paving repairs are completed in half a day to one day, especially re-sanding, pointing repairs, cleaning and minor block replacement. Re-levelling sunken sections usually takes 1–2 days depending on the area size and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding. Drying times can affect sealing, which is often done the same day after cleaning only when conditions allow. Access, parking and waste removal in SE1/SE17 can also influence timings.
Most like-for-like paving repairs are permitted and don’t require planning permission, especially when you’re repairing existing patios, paths or driveways. Rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage, or creating a new impermeable front drive where water would run to the highway. In Southwark, permeable solutions and correct drainage are important. We’ll advise on compliance and can recommend permeable jointing or falls where needed.
Yes. Our paving repairs come with a written 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including re-laid areas, edge restraints we install, and stability of repaired sections under normal domestic use. It also covers issues caused by incorrect bedding or jointing within the repaired area. The warranty doesn’t cover damage from heavy commercial vehicles, ground movement outside the repaired zone, or neglect such as blocked drainage. We’ll explain care steps to maximise lifespan.
We can repair and blend most existing surfaces, including concrete block paving, clay pavers, natural stone setts and paving slabs. For joints, options include kiln-dried sand, resin jointing compounds, or traditional pointing depending on the surface and look you want. Sealing choices range from matt to enhanced colour sealers with anti-stain benefits. We’ll match existing patterns (herringbone, stretcher bond) and advise on slip resistance and maintenance for your property.
