Block paving repairs in Dundonald: what to expect
In and around Dundonald, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

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

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 Dundonald 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.
