Block paving repairs in Potters Bar: what to expect
Potters Bar is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

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.
- 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
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
