Block paving repairs in Birmingham: the local picture
Birmingham has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
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 is included?
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.
- Diagnosis from photos or a visit
- Damaged blocks cut out without breaking neighbours
- Laying course corrected and re-screeded
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
- Replacement blocks matched as closely as possible, or sound blocks re-used
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
