Planning a block paving repair in Totton

Homes in Totton include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.

Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

What you get with our repairs service

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.

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

  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Falls, so water does not collect again

How we work

Repair before replace

If your drive can be fixed or re-laid, we will say so.

Edges set in concrete

Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.

Clean finish

The site is swept, the joints are filled and you are shown how to look after the paving.

Honest timescales

We tell you how long the job takes and what can delay it, such as approvals and weather.
