Planning a block paving repair in Londonderry
Across Londonderry, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.

What is included?
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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
