What is included?
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.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

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.
