Block paving repairs in Caldicot: what to expect

Around Caldicot, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.

Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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
  • Laying course corrected and re-screeded
  • Diagnosis from photos or a visit
  • Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
  • Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area

What we look at first in Caldicot

  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
