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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
Before we price your block paving repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
