What is included?
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.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Lift and re-lay in Buckinghamshire: questions
Do you cover Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury?
Yes. We cover all of Buckinghamshire, including Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury.
Can you repair block paving in Buckinghamshire 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.
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.
