What you get with our sunken paving service
Common causes are a sub-base that was too thin or not compacted, a laying course that was too thick, water washing sand out through a broken drain, or a trench that was never properly filled. Re-levelling means lifting the blocks in and around the dip, finding and fixing the cause, rebuilding and compacting the layers, and relaying the same blocks so they match.
- 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)
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
