That sinking feeling when your driveway starts resembling a lunar landscape isn't uncommon around Mitcham's clay-heavy soil. Whether it's Victorian terrace parking or modern estate access roads, damaged paving creates more than just aesthetic headaches.
Response within 24 hours
Mitcham's mix of Edwardian semis and newer developments means encountering everything from original cobblestones to resin-bound surfaces. Tree roots from those mature London planes along the Common wreak havoc on block paving, while the heavy buses thundering down London Road don't help matters. Smart repairs beat complete replacement nine times out of ten.
Proper diagnosis involves checking substrate integrity beneath failed sections - crucial given local ground conditions. Lifting affected blocks reveals whether simple re-levelling suffices or deeper intervention's needed. Fresh kiln-dried sand, membrane installation where appropriate, then methodical re-laying creates surfaces matching original specifications. Edge restraints often need reinforcement, particularly where vehicles regularly mount kerbs.
