Planning a block paving repair in Maldon
Maldon 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.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Repairs in Maldon: questions
Why does block paving sink?
