Block paving repairs in Old Trafford: the local picture
Around Old Trafford, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded

Repairs in Old Trafford: questions
Do you cover Stretford, Salford and Eccles?
Yes. We cover Old Trafford and the places around it, including Stretford, Salford and Eccles, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
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.
Can you repair block paving in Old Trafford 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.
