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.
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
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

Sunken paving in County Tyrone: questions
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.
Do you cover Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon?
Yes. We cover all of County Tyrone, including Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon.
Can you repair block paving in County Tyrone 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.
