Block paving repairs in Peebles: what to expect
In and around Peebles, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

What does a block paving repair involve?
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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
