Shrewsbury has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.

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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
