Planning a block paving repair in St Neots
In St Neots, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

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