Planning a block paving repair in Salford
Salford has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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

Repairs in Salford: questions
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.
