Planning a block paving repair in Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

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.
- 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
- Re-jointing and compaction of the repaired area
Before we price your block paving repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Repairs in Wolverhampton: questions
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 repair block paving in Wolverhampton 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 Wednesfield, Willenhall and Tipton?
Yes. We cover Wolverhampton and the places around it, including Wednesfield, Willenhall and Tipton, and the rest of the West Midlands.
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.
