Planning a block paving repair in Coalville
In Coalville, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Our paving team builds it to the agreed specification and leaves the site swept.
What you can expect from us
Water planned first
Falls, channels and soakaways are designed before the pattern is chosen.
Edges set in concrete
Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.
Clean finish
The site is swept, the joints are filled and you are shown how to look after the paving.
Repair before replace
If your drive can be fixed or re-laid, we will say so.
Repairs in Coalville: questions
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.
How much does a block paving repair cost in Coalville?
Our guide is £200–£650 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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 Coalville 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.
