Block paving repairs in Daventry: what to expect
Daventry is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.

What you get with our repairs service
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
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used

Repairs in Daventry: 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.
