Paving and patio repairs in Farnborough
Sunken slabs, loose blocks and cracked edges are common on Farnborough driveways and patios. We repair paving across the town, lifting and re-laying the affected areas properly rather than simply filling the gaps.
Why paving fails in Farnborough
Farnborough has a lot of driveways and patios laid decades ago, often on thin or poorly compacted bases. Over time, blocks sink where cars turn, slabs rock as the bedding washes out, and edges spread when restraints give way.
Tree roots are another common cause on established streets. As roots grow, they lift slabs and blocks, creating trip hazards. Repairing this properly means dealing with the roots or bridging over them, not just re-laying the paving on top.
Patios laid on spots of mortar rather than a full bed are prone to rocking and cracking. Where that has happened, re-laying the affected slabs on a full bed is usually the lasting fix.
How a repair works
We start by finding the cause, whether that is a failed sub-base, broken edging, poor drainage or roots. Then we lift the affected area, fix the cause and re-lay the paving, reusing sound blocks and slabs where possible.
Photos help us judge whether a patch repair will be enough or whether a larger area needs re-laying.
