What does a sunken area repair involve?
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.
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.
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- 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
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
