Planning a sunken area repair in Omagh
In and around Omagh, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

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.
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- 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
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
What we look at first in Omagh
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
