Planning a block paving repair in Bridgend
In Bridgend, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What does a block paving repair involve?
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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded

Repairs in Bridgend: questions
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.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
