Block paving repairs in Kempston: what to expect
Kempston is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
Before we price your block paving repair
