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.

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