Planning a sunken area repair in Pudsey
In Pudsey, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.

What you get with our sunken paving service
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
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
