Planning a block paving repair in Hinckley
Hinckley is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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 is included?
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.
- 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
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Hinckley: questions
Can you repair block paving in Hinckley 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.
Do you cover Wigston, Leicester and Coalville?
Yes. We cover Hinckley and the places around it, including Wigston, Leicester and Coalville, and the rest of Leicestershire.
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.
