Uneven paving is more than an eyesore—it can become a trip hazard and trap water against your property. We carry out targeted repairs across SE24, from small patio fixes to full sections of blockwork reinstatement. If you’re near Brockwell Park or walking routes to Herne Hill station, we’re close by for quick site visits. Our team focuses on making the repair blend seamlessly with the existing surface.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have older paths and patios where bedding has settled over time. We regularly repair block paving and slabs in gardens and forecourts around Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill. Where access is tight, we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully to keep disruption down. The aim is a flat, stable finish that suits the character of your home.
We start with a clear assessment: what’s moved, why it’s moved, and the most cost-effective fix. Depending on the issue, we’ll re-level the sub-base, replace damaged blocks, re-sand joints, carry out pointing repairs, treat weeds, then clean and seal for a consistent finish. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, tidy workmanship and reliable scheduling. Local homeowners choose us because repairs last—and because we stand behind them.
We’re used to the practicalities of paving repairs in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, including controlled parking zones and limited access on residential streets. Ground settlement and tree-root movement can affect patios near mature planting and parkland edges, so we rebuild the bedding properly rather than masking the problem. For period properties, we keep finishes sympathetic—clean lines, neat edges and jointing that suits the original look. We’re only around 15 minutes away, so follow-up support is straightforward.

Costs depend on the size of the affected area, how deep we need to rebuild the base, and whether you want cleaning and sealing. As a guide, small spot repairs and re-sanding can start from around £150–£350. Re-levelling sunken sections is often £350–£900. Larger repairs with block replacement, edge restraints and sealing can range from £900–£2,500+.
Many jobs are completed in half a day to one day, especially re-sanding, weed treatment, minor pointing repairs or replacing a few blocks. Re-levelling larger areas typically takes 1–2 days, depending on how much sub-base needs rebuilding. Cleaning and sealing may add time for drying and curing, particularly in damp weather. Access, parking restrictions and waste removal can also affect the schedule.
Most paving repairs are classed as maintenance and don’t need planning permission, especially when you’re repairing like-for-like. Rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering a front garden into a new driveway, or installing non-permeable surfacing that affects drainage to the highway. We’ll advise on permeable options and best practice for run-off. If permissions are relevant, we’ll help you check requirements with Lambeth or Southwark.
Yes. Our paving repair work comes with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the areas we’ve repaired, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate preparation, loose blocks due to poor jointing, or edge restraint failure. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, extreme impact, or underlying problems outside the repaired section (for example, drainage failures elsewhere). We’ll explain what’s included before we start.
We can usually match existing blocks or slabs, or source close alternatives if the original has been discontinued. Popular choices include tumbled blocks for period character, contemporary charcoal or silver tones, and natural stone pointing where appropriate. For jointing, we’ll recommend kiln-dried sand or a suitable resin-based compound depending on usage. We also offer cleaning and sealing options to deepen colour and reduce staining, tailored to your surface type.
