Homes around Honor Oak and nearby Forest Hill often feature period front paths and compact driveways where every centimetre matters. Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses, and 1930s semis commonly have older block paving or flagged areas that shift over time. We match existing blocks where possible and source close alternatives when originals are discontinued. Our repairs are designed to suit the character of the property, not fight against it.
We start with a site check to identify the cause—failed bedding, poor edge restraint, drainage issues, or weeds breaking joints. Then we lift and re-lay affected areas, re-sand, carry out pointing repairs where needed, and finish with cleaning and optional sealing. You’ll get a written scope of works and honest recommendations on what’s worth repairing versus replacing. Local homeowners choose us because we turn up when we say we will and stand behind the finish.
Honor Oak’s gradients and mixed ground conditions can lead to movement if sub-bases and edges aren’t properly restrained. We plan repairs with drainage in mind and use methods that suit tight front gardens and shared access. Parking and loading can be limited on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For paving repairs in London Borough of Lewisham, we also factor in local rules around water run-off and responsible disposal.

Costs vary with the size of the affected area and what’s needed underneath. Minor repairs such as re-sanding, weed treatment and small block replacement often start around £150–£400. Re-levelling a sunken section or rebuilding edges typically falls in the £450–£1,200 range. Larger problem areas, extensive lifting and relaying, cleaning and sealing can be £1,200–£2,500+. We provide a site-based estimate before work begins.
Most small repairs can be completed in half a day to one day, such as replacing a few blocks, re-sanding joints, or carrying out localised re-levelling. Medium repairs involving edge restraints and larger lifted sections commonly take 1–2 days. Drying times for bedding materials and the weather can affect scheduling, and sealing is usually best done once the surface is fully dry and clean. We’ll confirm timings after inspection.
In most cases, repairing existing paving on a driveway, path or patio is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. Rules can come into play if you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage, or replacing a non-permeable surface in a front garden where water could run onto the highway. We’ll advise on compliant options, including permeable joints or drainage solutions, and can help you check Lewisham guidance where needed.
Yes. Our paving repairs come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the repaired areas, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect installation, failing edge restraints, or joints breaking down due to poor preparation. It doesn’t cover damage from impact, vehicle overloading, or pre-existing drainage problems outside the agreed scope. We’ll explain exactly what’s included in writing, along with care advice to keep the finish looking its best.
We aim to match your existing surface first, then suggest alternatives if blocks or slabs are no longer available. Popular options include concrete block paving in traditional brindle/charcoal mixes, tumbled blocks for period-style homes, and natural stone slabs where a premium look is wanted. For joints, we can re-sand or use resin-based jointing where suitable. We’ll help you choose colours and patterns that suit your property and budget.
