Sunken and rutted block paving in Llantrisant: the local picture
Around Llantrisant, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
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.

What does a sunken area repair involve?
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)
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
