Why a slab starts moving
Movement can come from failed bedding, water, settlement or damaged joints. The repair needs to address the support below, not simply disguise the movement on top.

Patio & Paving Repairs in Leicester
A small area of failed paving can be annoying underfoot and may become a trip risk. A–Z can assess localised repairs as well as modest extensions, landing areas or step improvements where the wider ground and drainage are suitable.
- Loose and rocking slabs
- Local relaying
- Joint repairs
- Small additions quoted
Small repair or practical addition?
A limited repair or modest addition may suit a separately scoped job. Widespread movement, drainage design, large extensions or a full redesign need a larger quotation and may require specialist groundworks.
Typical jobs
Repair isolated paving faults or plan a modest addition.
A rocking slab or failed joint can often be repaired locally when the surrounding base is sound. Small landing areas, step improvements or limited additions can be scoped separately where levels and drainage allow.
One or more loose or rocking paving slabs lifted and reset
Small sunken areas assessed and locally relevelled where suitable
Failed joints and limited washed-out jointing repaired
Cracked or damaged individual slabs replaced when a match is available
Minor patio-edge, path-edge and transition repairs
Small step, riser or entrance-paving faults considered
Limited areas relaid where the wider base remains serviceable
Small landing areas, step improvements or limited paving additions scoped separately
