What you get with our repairs service

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.

  • Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
  • Diagnosis from photos or a visit
  • 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

  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Trees, roots and past trenches
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
  • Falls, so water does not collect again

Repairs in Brent: questions

Do you cover Harrow, Greenford and Acton?

Yes. We cover Brent and the places around it, including Harrow, Greenford and Acton, and the rest of Greater London.

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.

Can you repair block paving in Brent 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.
