Block paving repairs in Wigston: what to expect
Wigston is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

What is included?
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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

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.
