Paving Repairs across London
Block paving and slabs can usually be lifted and relaid, which makes repair practical in a way it is not for resin or tarmac. The key is to rebuild what is below: a sunken area of block paving means the base has moved, and relaying blocks on the same bad base fails again.
We lift the affected area, cut out and rebuild the base, relay the paving to the right level and joint it. Where a whole patio or driveway has failed, we will tell you honestly if relaying or replacing is better value.
Common paving problems we repair
- Sunken or dipped areas in block paving, often with puddles
- Slabs that rock, tilt or have cracked
- Blocks that have spread because edging has failed
- Weeds, loose joints and missing sand or pointing
- Subsidence over trenches or services after other works

How we repair paving
We mark and lift the affected paving and set the blocks or slabs aside for reuse. We then dig out, rebuild and compact the base, re-bed and relay the paving to level and joint it. Where edging has failed, we replace or reset it.
We can match new paving to old if units are damaged or missing, although colour can differ because of weathering. We can also clean and seal the repaired area. See paving cleaning and paving sealing.

Finish

Not sure which surface suits your property?
Resin, tarmac, block paving or stone: each has strengths. Tell us about your space and budget and we will recommend the right one and quote for it in writing.
Repair or replace?
If the problem is local, repair is usually cheaper. If the whole surface has moved or the original base is inadequate, replacement may be a better investment. We give both options where it is borderline.
What affects the cost?
The cost depends on the area to be lifted, the depth of base work and whether new materials are needed. We give a free written quote after inspection.

Paving Repairs FAQs
Can you fix a sunken patch of block paving?
Yes. We lift the blocks, rebuild and compact the base and relay them to level.
Why has my patio gone green?
Algae and moss grow in damp, shaded areas. Cleaning removes them, and sealing can slow their return. See paving cleaning.
Can you repair paving after drainage or utility works?
Yes. Trenches often settle. We can relay and reinstate the paving properly.
Do you reuse the old paving?
Where it is in good condition, yes. If some units are damaged, we match replacements as closely as possible.
