What does a block paving repair involve?
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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
How we find the cause

- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

How much does a block paving repair cost in Brixton?
Our guide is £240–£780 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
