Planning a sunken area repair in Bromsgrove
In Bromsgrove, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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.

What you get with our sunken paving service
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.
- New laying course screeded to the correct level and falls
- Sub-base dug out and rebuilt where it has failed
- Investigation of the cause (drain, sub-base, laying course, edging)
- Blocks lifted, cleaned and stacked for re-use
- Same blocks relaid, re-jointed and compacted
What we look at first in Bromsgrove
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
