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.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
- 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
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

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.
