Block paving repairs in Lisburn: what to expect
Across Lisburn, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

What you get with our repairs service
Most small repairs can be priced from clear photos and a measurement. If the problem is a symptom of something deeper, such as a failed edge or a soft sub-base, we will say so rather than patching over it, and price the proper fix alongside.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
Before we price your block paving repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Repairs in Lisburn: questions
Do you cover Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey?
Yes. We cover Lisburn and the places around it, including Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey, and the rest of County Antrim.
Can you repair block paving in Lisburn 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.
