What you get with our repairs service

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.

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

Before we price your block paving repair

  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Repairs in Thornton-Cleveleys: questions

Do you cover Fleetwood, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes?

Yes. We cover Thornton-Cleveleys and the places around it, including Fleetwood, Blackpool and Lytham St Annes, and the rest of Lancashire.

Can you repair block paving in Thornton-Cleveleys 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.

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.
