What is included?
Block paving repairs fix local damage: cracked or broken blocks, loose blocks that rock, oil or rust stains, and trenches left after a utility company or builder has dug through the drive. Because each block is separate, a damaged area can be lifted, the bed corrected and the blocks relaid or replaced, without breaking out the whole drive.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Repairs in Ayrshire: questions
Can you repair block paving in Ayrshire without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
