Lift and re-lay block paving in Limavady: what to expect
In and around Limavady, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

Lift and re-lay in Limavady: questions
Can you repair block paving in Limavady 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 Coleraine, Portstewart and Londonderry?
Yes. We cover Limavady and the places around it, including Coleraine, Portstewart and Londonderry, and the rest of County Londonderry.
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.
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.
