Block paving repairs in Vale of Leven: what to expect
Vale of Leven 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.
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 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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Repairs in Vale of Leven: questions
Can you repair block paving in Vale of Leven 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.
