Sunken and rutted block paving in Yateley: what to expect

In and around Yateley, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.

Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

What is included?

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.

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

Before we price your sunken area repair

  • Trees, roots and past trenches
  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
  • Falls, so water does not collect again
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
