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.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- 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
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Repairs in Cornwall: questions
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.
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.

Can you repair block paving in Cornwall 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.
