Lift and re-lay block paving in Ledbury: the local picture
In and around Ledbury, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

Lift and re-lay in Ledbury: 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 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.
Can you repair block paving in Ledbury 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.
