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
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
Before we price your block paving repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Repairs in Hereford: questions
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.
Do you cover Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury?
Yes. We cover Hereford and the places around it, including Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury, and the rest of Herefordshire.
Can you repair block paving in Hereford 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.
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.
