Planning a block paving repair in Brighton
Brighton has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

What does a block paving repair involve?
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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- 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

Repairs in Brighton: 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.
