Block paving repairs in Washington: the local picture
In Washington, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.
How much does a block paving repair cost in Washington?
In the North East, a block paving repair usually costs £180–£590 including VAT. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

| Small repair (a few blocks or a short trench) | £180–£590 |

| Lift and re-lay on a sound base | £30–£70 per m² |

What you get with our repairs service
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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used

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