Planning a block paving repair in Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

What you get with our repairs service
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
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
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
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Repairs in Newcastle upon Tyne: 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.
Do you cover Gosforth, Felling and Wallsend?
Yes. We cover Newcastle upon Tyne and the places around it, including Gosforth, Felling and Wallsend, and the rest of Tyne and Wear.
Can you repair block paving in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
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.
