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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- 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
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Repairs in Kent: questions
How much does a block paving repair cost in Kent?
Our guide is £215–£700 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.
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.
