Planning a block paving repair in Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

What does a block paving repair involve?
Block paving repairs fix local damage: cracked or broken blocks, loose blocks that rock, oil or rust stains, and trenches left after a utility company or builder has dug through the drive. Because each block is separate, a damaged area can be lifted, the bed corrected and the blocks relaid or replaced, without breaking out the whole drive.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
Before we price your block paving repair
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
