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