Block paving repairs in Cookstown: what to expect
Cookstown 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 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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- 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
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Cookstown: questions
How much does a block paving repair cost in Cookstown?
Our guide is £190–£620 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.
