Cracked driveways and sunken pathways plague properties throughout SW18, particularly where London clay shifts beneath ageing surfaces. Local expertise transforms these hazards back into smooth, safe spaces that complement Wandsworth's diverse architecture.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces along Garratt Lane often struggle with original cobbled drives that have settled unevenly over decades. Modern developments near Wandsworth Common face different challenges – block paving that's lifted after harsh winters or resin surfaces damaged by delivery vehicles. Each repair demands understanding of both the underlying ground conditions and the specific materials involved.
Assessment starts with identifying why damage occurred – tree roots from those magnificent plane trees, poor initial drainage, or simply age catching up with materials. Repairs might involve lifting and relaying sections, installing proper sub-base reinforcement, or seamlessly patching damaged areas. Working around parked cars and maintaining access for residents requires careful planning, especially in those tight Earlsfield streets where every inch matters.
Twenty years solving paving problems between Southfields station and Battersea brings invaluable local knowledge. Understanding which suppliers stock matching materials for older installations saves both time and money for property owners.
