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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Repairs in Fife: questions
Can you repair block paving in Fife without replacing it?
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.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
