In and around Berkhamsted, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.

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.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Repairs in Berkhamsted: questions
Can you repair block paving in Berkhamsted 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.
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.
