Block paving repairs in Wallsend: what to expect
Wallsend is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

What is included?
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
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- 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
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
