What you get with our lift and re-lay service

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.

  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking
  • Jointing sand and compaction
  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed

Lift and re-lay in Crowthorne: questions

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 send someone just to look?

For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.

Do you cover Sandhurst, Wokingham and Bracknell?

Yes. We cover Crowthorne and the places around it, including Sandhurst, Wokingham and Bracknell, and the rest of Berkshire.

Can you repair block paving in Crowthorne 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.
