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.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- 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
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
