Patio Repair Services in Dover
Over time, most patios begin to show signs of wear—sunken slabs, deteriorating pointing, or individual damaged sections. Many of these issues can be repaired without the need to replace the entire patio, which saves you significant costs while prolonging the life of your outdoor space.
Our patio repair experts in Dover offer complimentary estimates for all types of patio repairs. Whether you need basic maintenance such as cleaning and regrouting, or more extensive work like lifting sunken areas and resolving drainage problems, we’ve got you covered.
What Type Of Patios We Repair In Dover
Ground subsidence can cause slabs to sink or shift, resulting in uneven surfaces that pose tripping risks and detract from your patio’s visual appeal. We carefully lift the affected sections, properly restore the foundation layers, and reinstall the slabs to ensure correct levels and drainage slopes.
Individual slabs can crack or break due to various reasons—heavy items being dropped, frost damage, or stress from ground settlement. We replace damaged slabs on a case-by-case basis, though achieving a perfect match with existing materials can be challenging, particularly with natural stone that varies between batches.
When pointing fails, it creates pathways for water infiltration and weed growth. We remove the worn mortar and apply fresh pointing that seals the joints effectively against weather while maintaining enough flexibility to prevent future cracking.
In some cases, patios suffer from poor initial installation. Incorrect drainage gradients, insufficient base preparation, or unsuitable materials mean that repairs may only provide temporary solutions. We provide honest assessments about whether targeted repairs or a complete lift and relay would be the more sensible long-term investment.
We also tackle smaller repair tasks including relevelling sunken sections adjacent to structures, enhancing drainage systems, or replacing compromised edging that has allowed the patio to shift over time. Addressing these issues promptly helps prevent more serious problems from developing.
In addition to our patio repairs, we provide other services including new patio installations in Dover, limestone patio installations and more.
