Planning a block paving repair in Arbroath
Arbroath 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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Repairs in Arbroath: questions
Do you cover Carnoustie, Monifieth and Montrose?
Yes. We cover Arbroath and the places around it, including Carnoustie, Monifieth and Montrose, and the rest of Dundee and Angus.
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 Arbroath 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.
