Block paving repairs in Blantyre: what to expect
Around Blantyre, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
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.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit

Repairs in Blantyre: questions
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.
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.
