Replacing worn concrete in Kennington
Kennington is an established suburb where many driveways and paths have been in place for decades. Cracking, sunken sections and stained surfaces are common, and a fresh pour can transform kerb appeal.
Replacement is more than breaking out and re-pouring. Understanding why the old slab failed, whether from weak base, roots or drainage, is what stops the same problem returning.

Out with the old
From worn slab to fresh finish
A clear sequence keeps a replacement tidy and predictable.
A good replacement follows a clear order: inspect and mark out, break out and remove, prepare a stronger base, then pour and finish. Doing the base properly is what you are really paying for, and it is the first thing to ask about when comparing quotes. See concrete removal for what to expect on the day.

Fresh start
Finishes worth considering for a replacement
A new pour is the moment to upgrade the look as well as the strength.
A replacement is the perfect moment to upgrade the look as well as the strength. Natural stone texture, colour matched to brick and roof, or a feature pattern for the entry can all lift a Kennington home. Weigh your options on the finish pages below and ask for sample panels so you can see them in your own light.
Aftercare

Kennington concrete questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers to help you plan your next step.
Have a project in mind?01How long does a Kennington driveway replacement take?
A typical driveway can be broken out, rebuilt and poured in a few days, followed by curing time before vehicles are allowed. Larger or more complex jobs take longer, and weather can move the schedule, so ask for a realistic timeline when you request a quote.
02Can I keep part of my old driveway?
Sometimes. If sections are sound and level, they can be kept and joined to new work with a clean saw cut. A short inspection shows which parts are worth saving and which have failed, so you only replace what you need to.
03What happens to the old concrete?
It is usually taken away and crushed for recycling, which keeps disposal costs reasonable and reduces waste. Make sure removal and disposal are included in your written scope so there are no surprise charges on the day.
