Driveway Repairs Dublin — Block Paving, Tarmac and Concrete Repairs
Sunken blocks, cracked tarmac, failing joints — we repair all driveway surfaces quickly and durably.
A driveway that was fine three years ago can look tired quickly in Ireland's wet climate — sunken blocks, cracked tarmac edges, weeds pushing through the joints, or sections that pond water after rain. Most of these problems are fixable without replacing the entire driveway.
At Driveways and Patios we diagnose the root cause first. A sunken area isn't just about the surface — it's about what's happening in the sub-base underneath. We lift, fix the underlying issue, and relay rather than just patching over a failing base that will sink again in six months. Same with tarmac cracks — a crack is a symptom of either a sub-base issue or edge failure, not just a surface problem.
We repair block paving driveways (lifting, re-levelling, re-laying and re-jointing), tarmac driveways (edge repairs, pothole repair, resurfacing), concrete driveways (crack injection, surface restoration), and resin surfaces (patch repairs if the base is sound). Free survey, written quote within 24 hours, no deposit.
Materials and Options
Block paving repair
Lifting affected blocks, addressing the sub-base, re-laying, and re-jointing. Blocks matched as closely as possible to originals.
Tarmac repair
Hot-fill or cold-pour pothole repair, edge reinstatement, full or partial resurfacing where damage is extensive.
Re-jointing
Complete removal of old jointing sand and replacement with fresh kiln-dried sand. Restores block stability and prevents weed growth.
Concrete crack repair
Crack chasing, polyurethane injection or epoxy mortar fills for concrete driveways. Structural cracks vs shrinkage cracks require different approaches.
Our Installation Process
- 1
Diagnosis
We assess what's wrong and why. A sunken area could be a failed sub-base, a collapsed drain, or tree root intrusion. Fixing the surface without fixing the cause means the same problem returns.
- 2
Quotation
Written scope and quote within 24 hours of the site visit.
- 3
Repair execution
We fix the root cause and then the surface. Blocks are lifted, sub-base corrected, blocks relay. Tarmac is cut back to sound edges and patched or resurfaced.
- 4
Matching
We source replacement blocks, stone or tarmac as close to the original as possible. In older driveways an exact match may not be achievable — we'll advise honestly.
