Planning a block paving repair in Dereham
In and around Dereham, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

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