Planning a sunken area repair in Deganwy
Deganwy is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
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.

What you get with our sunken paving service
Common causes are a sub-base that was too thin or not compacted, a laying course that was too thick, water washing sand out through a broken drain, or a trench that was never properly filled. Re-levelling means lifting the blocks in and around the dip, finding and fixing the cause, rebuilding and compacting the layers, and relaying the same blocks so they match.
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
