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

Edges set in concrete
Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.

Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.
Repair before replace
If your drive can be fixed or re-laid, we will say so.
