What does a block paving repair involve?
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
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
