Uneven paving can quickly become a trip hazard and a magnet for puddles and weeds. Our team carries out targeted repairs for driveways and patios around CR0, from block replacement to pointing repairs and edge stabilisation. Whether you’re near Shirley Windmill or heading towards Addington Hills, we’ll match existing materials and restore a clean, level finish. Repairs are planned to minimise disruption and keep access clear.
Shirley’s mix of 1930s semis, detached homes and newer developments often comes with block-paved drives and practical rear patios. Over time, traffic, tree roots and washout can cause settlement, rocking blocks and gaps in joints. We regularly deliver paving repairs Shirley area homeowners need, including re-levelling and re-sanding to lock everything back in place. If your paving has lost its colour or looks patchy, cleaning and sealing can bring it back to life.
We start with an on-site inspection, then recommend the most cost-effective repair rather than a full replacement. Typical work includes lifting affected blocks, re-laying on a corrected sub-base, compacting, re-sanding and finishing with optional sealing. Weed treatment and pointing repairs are handled carefully to protect surrounding planting and surfaces. Homeowners choose us for clear quotes, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying repairs.
We’re used to the access and parking constraints around residential streets in Shirley and nearby Addiscombe, and we plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. Ground conditions can vary, so we check for sub-base washout and edge creep before re-laying. For properties close to mature trees and slopes towards Addington, we pay extra attention to levels and water run-off. If your project falls under paving repairs in London Borough of Croydon guidance, we’ll advise on compliant drainage solutions.

Costs depend on the size of the affected area and the cause of movement. Minor fixes such as re-sanding, weed treatment and small pointing repairs often start from around £150–£350. Re-levelling a section of block paving typically falls in the £400–£1,200 range, depending on depth and access. Larger repairs involving edge restraints, sub-base rebuilds or multiple block replacements can be £1,200–£2,500+.
Most small repairs can be completed in half a day to a full day, especially re-sanding, cleaning or replacing a few blocks. Re-levelling and correcting the sub-base for a sunken section commonly takes 1–2 days. Bigger jobs involving edge repairs, extensive lifting and re-laying, or drying time before sealing may take 2–4 days. Timescales vary with weather, access, and how much of the base needs rebuilding.
In most cases, paving repairs are classed as maintenance and won’t need planning permission. The key consideration is drainage: front garden driveways should usually use permeable surfaces or direct water to a suitable permeable area, not the public highway. If you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage, or your home is in a restricted area, rules can differ. We’ll flag any concerns and help you stay compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying paving repairs, covering workmanship-related issues such as re-laid areas settling due to installation error, failed edge restraints we’ve replaced, or joints we’ve re-sanded incorrectly. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party works, vehicle overloading, flooding, or ground movement caused by new tree roots or utility excavations. We’ll explain what’s included before work begins and keep records of materials used.
We aim to match your existing paving first, sourcing compatible blocks and colours where possible. For jointing, we can use kiln-dried sand, resin jointing compounds (where suitable), or traditional pointing repairs for setts and slabs. Cleaning options include gentle pressure washing with appropriate detergents, followed by sealing in matt or satin finishes to enhance colour and reduce staining. We’ll recommend the best approach based on traffic, shade, and your preferred look.
