Block paving repairs in Ashton in Makerfield: what to expect
In Ashton in Makerfield, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
