Block paving repairs in Caerphilly: the local picture
Caerphilly is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
