Block paving repairs in Wellington: what to expect
In and around Wellington, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Repairs in Wellington: questions
Can you repair block paving in Wellington 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.
