Planning a block paving repair in Letchworth Garden City
In Letchworth Garden City, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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?
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
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
