Block paving repairs in Ampthill: what to expect
Around Ampthill, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

What does a block paving repair involve?
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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
