Patio Repairs
Restoring Sunken Slabs, Loose Mortar Joints and Broken Paving
Over time, harsh winter frosts, ground settlement, and weed infestation cause patio mortar joints to crumble and slabs to loosen across Southampton, Portsmouth, Gosport, and Fareham. Ignoring loose paving allows rainwater underneath, accelerating sub-base damage.
Our patio repair services restore stability without complete paving replacement. We rake out deteriorated mortar, re-bed loose rocking slabs on fresh mortar beds, re-compact underlying aggregate foundations, and re-point joints with high-performance compounds.
Patio Repairs FAQs
Expert Answers to Your Patio Repair Questions
Find answers on re-pointing methods, fixing rocking slabs, polymeric mortar benefits, and repair costs.
Why do patio mortar joints crumble and crack over time?
Mortar degrades due to freeze-thaw weather cycles, ground movement, power washing, and aging cement binders.
Can single loose patio slabs be re-fixed without relaying the whole patio?
Yes, we lift individual loose slabs, clear old mortar, prime backings, and re-bed them firmly on fresh mortar.
What is polymeric jointing compound?
Polymeric mortar is a flexible, weather-resistant jointing sand-resin blend that cures hard while resisting frost and weeds.
How do you remove old mortar from patio slab edges safely?
We use mechanical raking tools and raking chisels to clean slab edges without chipping natural stone.
Is re-pointing a patio more cost-effective than replacing it completely?
Yes, professional re-pointing restores stability and appearance at a small fraction of replacement costs.
