Those cracks spreading across your driveway aren't just unsightly – they're actively damaging your property's kerb appeal. Throughout SE13's mix of period homes and newer developments, worn paving tells its own story of London weather and daily wear.

Lewisham's diverse housing stock presents unique paving challenges. Victorian properties often feature original stone paths that have shifted over decades, while 1930s semis struggle with ageing concrete drives that weren't built for modern vehicle weights. Even newer estates around Hither Green face issues when builders' standard block paving starts lifting after just a few winters.
Proper repair work goes beyond simply filling gaps with sand. Subsidence needs addressing at the foundation level, particularly common in SE13's clay-heavy soil. Drainage patterns must be restored to prevent pooling – crucial given how many Lewisham properties slope towards the street. Materials are matched to existing surfaces, whether that's reclaimed York stone for period restorations or finding discontinued block patterns from the early 2000s.
Twenty years working across Lewisham means knowing which suppliers still stock those specific red pavers used throughout Catford's residential roads. It means understanding why driveways near Mountsfield Park suffer more frost damage than those towards Blackheath borders.

Small patch repairs on block paving start around £200-400, while addressing significant subsidence across a typical Lewisham semi's drive ranges £800-1500. Full resurfacing rarely needed – most issues resolve through targeted repairs.
Absolutely – regular work takes us throughout Catford's residential streets, up to Blackheath's grander properties, and across to Deptford's converted warehouse districts. Local knowledge extends well beyond postcode boundaries.
Emergency trip hazards often sorted within 48 hours. Standard repairs typically scheduled within 5-7 days, though larger subsidence projects might need 2-3 weeks preparation for proper ground stabilisation.
Every repair carries decade-long coverage against failure. This includes settlement issues, joint deterioration, and colour fading – essentially everything except deliberate damage or extreme ground movement beyond normal SE13 conditions.
Previous botched repairs are surprisingly common – usually cheap cement patches or wrong-coloured blocks. These can be cut out and properly matched, though sometimes adjacent areas need refreshing to achieve seamless blending.
