What is included?
It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
