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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
