Block paving repairs in Carryduff: the local picture
Carryduff 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.
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
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
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Repairs in Carryduff: questions
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.
Do you cover Comber, Dundonald and Holywood?
Yes. We cover Carryduff and the places around it, including Comber, Dundonald and Holywood, and the rest of County Down.
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 repair block paving in Carryduff 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.
