Planning a block paving repair in St Helens
St Helens has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
