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.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Repairs in Lancashire: questions
Do you cover Preston, Burnley and Blackburn?
Yes. We cover all of Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley and Blackburn.
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 repair block paving in Lancashire without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
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.
