Planning a block paving repair in Magherafelt
Magherafelt 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
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
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Repairs in Magherafelt: 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 Magherafelt 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.
