Block paving repairs in Hamilton: the local picture
Hamilton is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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 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.
- 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
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
Before we price your block paving repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
