Block paving repairs in Worksop: what to expect

In Worksop, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.

Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.

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

How we find the cause

  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Repairs in Worksop: 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.

Do you cover Retford, Mansfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield?

Yes. We cover Worksop and the places around it, including Retford, Mansfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield, and the rest of Nottinghamshire.

Can you repair block paving in Worksop 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.

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.
