Planning a sunken area repair in Holyhead
Holyhead 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.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
Work in Holyhead is by arrangement: we confirm availability and any travel charge before a visit, and many jobs can be priced from photos first.

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.
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
Before we price your sunken area repair
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
