Those troublesome dips in your driveway aren't going away on their own. Thornton Heath's clay soil and busy traffic mean paving problems develop faster here than anywhere else in South London.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces dominate CR7's residential streets, and their narrow driveways take quite a beating. Between delivery vans squeezing through tight spaces and London's freeze-thaw cycles, even well-laid paving eventually needs attention. Clay movement beneath Thornton Heath properties creates particular challenges – blocks sink, edges crack, and water starts pooling where it shouldn't.
Proper repair goes beyond simply lifting and relaying loose blocks. Ground preparation determines whether fixes last months or decades. Compacted sub-base installation, correct drainage gradients, and flexible jointing compounds all play crucial roles. Modern techniques now allow targeted repairs without disturbing entire driveways, saving both disruption and expense.
Fifteen years working between South Norwood station and Broad Green means knowing exactly which repair methods suit CR7's ground conditions. Local knowledge matters when every street has different soil characteristics.
