Block paving repairs in Whitstable: the local picture
Whitstable is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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.

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- 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
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

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