Block paving repairs in Gorseinon: what to expect
Around Gorseinon, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
Before we price your block paving repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Repairs in Gorseinon: 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.
