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.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- 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
