Block paving repairs in Acocks Green: what to expect
In Acocks Green, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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.
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
What we look at first in Acocks Green
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- 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

Repairs in Acocks Green: questions
Can you repair block paving in Acocks Green 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.
Do you cover Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath?
Yes. We cover Acocks Green and the places around it, including Shirley, Solihull and Washwood Heath, and the rest of the West Midlands.
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.
