Uneven blocks, loose edging and open joints can quickly spoil an otherwise smart driveway or patio. Our team delivers targeted paving repairs shortlands area homeowners rely on, from re-levelling to pointing repairs and weed treatment. We regularly work around BR2, including routes near Shortlands station and towards Bromley. The aim is simple: a firm, even surface that drains properly and looks consistent.
Shortlands is known for its quiet, affluent streets and excellent rail links, with many large Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties. These homes often have established front gardens and block-paved driveways that need careful, sympathetic repairs rather than full replacement. We match existing blocks where possible and blend new sand and jointing to avoid patchy finishes. If your paving has settled over time, we’ll correct levels without disrupting the character of your frontage.
We start with a site check to identify movement, drainage issues and failing joints, then recommend the most cost-effective fix. Typical work includes lifting and re-bedding blocks, re-sanding, edge repairs, deep cleaning and sealing for long-term protection. We keep disruption low, maintain tidy work areas, and provide clear aftercare advice so the repairs stay looking sharp. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a straightforward 10-year warranty option for qualifying repairs.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we often see settlement from older sub-bases and tree-root movement, especially on long driveways serving period homes. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise parking pressure and keep neighbours happy. We also factor in local drainage expectations, recommending permeable solutions where appropriate. This local approach helps paving repairs in London Borough of Bromley last longer and look better.

Costs vary with the size of the affected area and the cause of movement. As a guide, small repairs such as re-sanding, weed treatment and minor pointing repairs often start from £150–£350. Re-levelling a sunken section or replacing damaged blocks is commonly £350–£900, depending on access and materials. Deep cleaning and sealing is usually priced by area, typically £6–£15 per m², plus prep work if needed.
Most paving repairs are completed in a single visit. Minor tasks like re-sanding, edge stabilisation or replacing a few blocks can take 2–4 hours. Re-levelling larger sections, correcting drainage falls, or carrying out cleaning and sealing may take 1–2 days, sometimes longer if the sub-base needs rebuilding. Timescales depend on the size of the area, how many blocks must be lifted, and drying times for sealers.
Paving repairs are usually classed as maintenance, so planning permission isn’t normally required. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, altering drainage, or installing a new impermeable driveway surface that directs water to the highway. Some properties may also be affected by conservation area guidance. We’ll advise on compliant options, including permeable finishes and correct falls, and can help you check any Bromley-specific requirements before work begins.
Yes. Our paving repairs can be covered by a 10-year warranty on qualifying work, giving you confidence that the repaired area will remain stable and properly finished. The warranty typically covers workmanship issues such as re-settlement caused by incorrect bedding, failed edges we’ve rebuilt, or jointing problems in repaired sections. It doesn’t cover damage from new ground movement, heavy impacts, or issues outside the repaired area. We’ll confirm coverage in writing.
We aim to match your existing paving first, sourcing compatible block sizes, colours and textures for seamless block replacement. If you’d like an upgrade, we can introduce contrasting borders, refreshed jointing colours, or a new sealer finish (matt or enhanced). For patios, we can repair and re-point with appropriate mortar or resin-based jointing where suitable. We’ll advise on slip resistance, drainage, and what best suits your home’s style and frontage.
