It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.

Lift and re-lay in Berkshire: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Berkshire?
Our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
Can you repair block paving in Berkshire without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Do you cover Reading, Slough and Bracknell?
Yes. We cover all of Berkshire, including Reading, Slough and Bracknell.
