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.
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- 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
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
What we look at first in Enniskillen
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Sunken paving in Enniskillen: questions
How much does a sunken area repair cost in Enniskillen?
Our guide is £285–£1,150 including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you repair block paving in Enniskillen 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.
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.
