Our team carries out targeted repairs across SE21, from small re-sanding jobs to full re-levelling of problem areas.

West Dulwich’s leafy streets and period homes often come with older paths, front drives and garden terraces that have settled over time. Victorian villas and Edwardian houses commonly have block paving that’s shifted at edges or sunk where cars turn. Period conversions can also suffer from patchy repairs done years ago with mismatched blocks. We match materials and jointing so the repaired area blends in rather than standing out.
We start with a clear inspection, then lift and relay only what’s needed to correct levels and stop movement. Repairs can include block replacement, pointing repairs, edge restraints, weed treatment and a deep clean before re-sanding. Where suitable, we apply a quality sealant to reduce staining and slow weed regrowth. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, honest advice and a 10-year warranty on qualifying repair work.

Our approach is designed to suit Lambeth’s mix of period streets and modern upgrades.
