If you're worried about the block pavers, mortar them back down around the anchor.

Thing with block pavers is, if you do see some sink later on, get them up add more sand, pale them back down

cheers for the info.

The only downside is that driving them with a club hammer is a pretty noisy process, so you won't make too many friends in the neighbourhood.

Will have a look into it thanks, LOL I dont think I can pee them off much more than I already do, starting my bike at 7am every morning with a stubby can that needs repacking.
