Sunken and rutted block paving in Greenford: the local picture
Homes in Greenford include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.

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