What does a sunken area repair involve?
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.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- 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
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

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.
