Sunken and rutted block paving in Camberley: what to expect
In Camberley, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a sunken area repair cost in Camberley?
In the South East, a sunken area repair usually costs £320–£1,300 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.
- 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)
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
