Driveway and patio repairs

Driveways rarely fail everywhere at once. A sunken patch by the gate, a rutted line where the wheels run, a crumbling edge with no restraint. Repairs are one of the top three jobs people call us about, and usually far cheaper than a replacement.

A repair only lasts if the cause is dealt with. Sunken blocks mean the base has moved, and often that water is getting somewhere it should not. We dig out far enough to find what went wrong, rebuild the base and reinstate the surface. If the base has gone across the whole drive we will tell you that too, rather than patch it.

Common questions

Driveway Repairs FAQs

Why has my drive sunk in one place?

Usually the base has moved or washed out, very often because water is getting under the surface. Digging out and rebuilding that area is the fix; re-laying the blocks on their own just sinks again.

Can you match the existing blocks?

We get as close as the range allows, but paving weathers, so a repair patch is often slightly cleaner than its surroundings at first. It usually blends within a season.

Is a repair or a new drive better value?

If the failure is localised and the rest of the base is sound, a repair is much better value. If the base has failed across the drive, patching it will keep coming back. We will tell you which you have got.

Can you fill potholes in a tarmac drive?

Yes. We cut back to sound material, rebuild the base where needed and reinstate, rather than tipping cold material into the hole, which lifts out again in a few months.

How quickly can you come out?

Small repairs are usually straightforward to fit in. Call or send the form with a photo of the damage and we will tell you where we are on availability.
