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 soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Repairs in Suffolk: questions
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.
Can you repair block paving in Suffolk 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.
Do you cover Ipswich, Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds?
Yes. We cover all of Suffolk, including Ipswich, Lowestoft and Bury St Edmunds.
