Planning a block paving repair in Swansea
Across Swansea, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
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 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.
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- 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
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
