Block paving movement

Hello,
I had my front drive and porch area in front of my door block paved 10 years ago. In the last week i have noticed in the area of block paving in front of my front door has dropped by 1 - 2 cm's in quite even line. This has never happened before and the rest of the drive seems okay could this be frost damage?
Regards

Frost normally heaves upwards.1

stuart45 said:Frost normally heaves upwards.I agree. In theory it could be possible for the whole drive to heave upwards, except for the area closest to the house (due to shelter and/or warming from the structure). But if the area closest to the house has definitely dropped, then it isn't looking likely to be the effect of frost.Some pictures might help us please OP.1
