Sunken and rutted block paving in Newton-le-Willows: the local picture
In and around Newton-le-Willows, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
What we look at first in Newton-le-Willows
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Sunken paving in Newton-le-Willows: questions
Can you repair block paving in Newton-le-Willows 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.
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.
Do you cover Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn?
Yes. We cover Newton-le-Willows and the places around it, including Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn, and the rest of Cheshire.
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.
