Block paving repairs in Bishop's Stortford: what to expect
Bishop's Stortford is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

What is included?
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
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
