Sunken and rutted block paving in Maesteg: the local picture
Maesteg is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
How much does a sunken area repair cost in Maesteg?
In Wales, a sunken area repair usually costs £280–£1,100 including VAT. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

What is included?
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.
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
