The pavement surrounding your house and the driveway leading up to the pavement both require regular maintenance and repairs. It’s very important for you to make sure that you maintain the driveway if you want it to last you a long while. Most people completely neglect their driveways and end up having to repave it all over again. Here are a few of the many common issues that might arise with a standard asphalt or concrete driveway:

  • Potholes
  • Cracks on the driveway
  • Patches sink in the ground

There are a number of companies that specialise in making affordable block paving driveways in Croydon. Block pavements are quite popular because they look incredibly good and are also quite easy to maintain. In case your block pavement becomes damaged over time from the environmental elements, here are a few things that you should know about getting it repaired.

Patching

If there are damaged patches on the driveway, you can have them patched by hiring a local concrete and driveway repair company. They will repair patches on the driveway and level the surface to ensure a smooth surface.

Repavement

If the driveway has been significantly damaged and the company tells you that the only option is to get the driveway repaved, you should first ask the company for an estimate. Find out how much the repair work is going to cost before you commission the company to repave the driveway. In some cases, this is actually a less expensive option than having the driveway repaired again and again.
