Block paving repairs in Hove: what to expect
Across Hove, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
Before we price your block paving repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
