Planning a sunken area repair in Leighton Buzzard
Homes in Leighton Buzzard include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

What you get with our sunken paving service
Sunken block paving is an area that has dropped below the surrounding surface, often as wheel ruts where cars turn, a dip near a manhole or drain, or a hollow where water sits after rain. The blocks themselves are usually fine; the problem is underneath.
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
What we look at first in Leighton Buzzard
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
