Block paving repairs in Pontypridd: the local picture
In Pontypridd, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

What you get with our repairs service
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
- 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
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Pontypridd: questions
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.
Can you repair block paving in Pontypridd 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.
Do you cover Tonyrefail, Nelson, Mid Glamorgan and Llantrisant?
Yes. We cover Pontypridd and the places around it, including Tonyrefail, Nelson, Mid Glamorgan and Llantrisant, and the rest of Mid Glamorgan.
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.
