Sunken and rutted block paving in Cambuslang: what to expect
Cambuslang is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
What we look at first in Cambuslang
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
