Planning a lift and re-lay job in Troon
Around Troon, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
