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.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.
- 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
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Why does block paving sink?
