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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Why does block paving sink?
