What is included?

Most small repairs can be priced from clear photos and a measurement. If the problem is a symptom of something deeper, such as a failed edge or a soft sub-base, we will say so rather than patching over it, and price the proper fix alongside.

Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.

  • Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
  • Diagnosis from photos or a visit
  • Laying course corrected and re-screeded
  • Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
  • Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours

How we find the cause

  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Trees, roots and past trenches
