Planning a block paving repair in Airdrie
In Airdrie, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used

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.
