Planning a block paving repair in Altrincham
Homes in Altrincham include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
Before we price your block paving repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Altrincham: questions
How much does a block paving repair cost in Altrincham?
Our guide is £200–£650 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you repair block paving in Altrincham 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.
Do you cover Sale, Urmston and Stretford?
Yes. We cover Altrincham and the places around it, including Sale, Urmston and Stretford, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
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.
