Lift and re-lay block paving in Amersham: the local picture
Amersham is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Amersham?
Most lift and re-lay job quotes in the South East fall within £40–£85 per m² including VAT. 30 m² re-laid would usually be about £1,150–£2,600, with any extras listed separately on your quote.

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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

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.
