Sunken and rutted block paving in Hazel Grove: what to expect
Hazel Grove is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
Before we price your sunken area repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Sunken paving in Hazel Grove: 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.
Can you repair block paving in Hazel Grove 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.
Do you cover Stockport, Cheadle Hulme and Hyde?
Yes. We cover Hazel Grove and the places around it, including Stockport, Cheadle Hulme and Hyde, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
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.
