Sunken and rutted block paving in Ross-on-Wye: the local picture
In and around Ross-on-Wye, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

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.
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- 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
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
