Common Problems That Require Attention;

 

Loose Edging -

This can cause a large amount of damage over the long term. The edgings are put in place to hold the main body of the paving tightly together, this helps reduce movement. Spreading will cause block paving to sink, mortar joints to open up causing jointing compound to loosen, and as result tarmac and concrete will crack. Once water has managed to penetrate  these areas it will cause permanent damage to the sub-base. Freezing temperatures in the winter months will also cause cracks as well as open areas to expand, in-turn increasing the subsequent amount of overall damage.

 

Uneven levels - It is most likely that uneven levels, sunken areas and rocking of paving are caused by settlement of the sub-base, or the bedding layer.

 

These causes are :

 

• Wrong/inadequate sub-base materials or insufficient base was used originally.
• Incomplete compaction of the substrate layers during the construction process.
• Heavier use than the paving was designed to carry.
• Water getting down to the sub-base.
