Block paving repairs in Thetford: the local picture
In and around Thetford, 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?
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
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
What we look at first in Thetford
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Why does block paving sink?
