Driveway Patching
Patching is a targeted repair for localised damage such as potholes, cracks and sunken areas, without touching the rest of the driveway. The damaged section is cut out, the base is prepared and the hole is filled with matching material. It is usually the cheapest way to deal with isolated problems before they spread.
Why Choose Patching?
- Lower-cost fix for isolated potholes and cracks
- Stops small damage from spreading across the surface
- Small repairs are often quick to carry out
- Matching material is used to blend the repair in

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a patch repair match the colour of my existing driveway?
Installers can try to colour-match a repair, but fresh tarmac or concrete may look slightly different at first and blend in as it weathers. For block paving, it helps if replacement blocks come from the same manufacturer range. Ask to see how a repair will look before agreeing to it.
