Block paving repairs in Canning Town: what to expect

Canning Town is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.

Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.

What does a block paving repair involve?

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.

  • Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
  • Diagnosis from photos or a visit
  • 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
