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.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Repairs in Shropshire: questions
Do you cover Telford, Shrewsbury and Wellington?
Yes. We cover all of Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Wellington.
Can you repair block paving in Shropshire 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.
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.
