Block paving repairs in Carmarthen: the local picture
In and around Carmarthen, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
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.
