- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your lift and re-lay job

Lift and re-lay in Aylesbury: questions
Can you repair block paving in Aylesbury 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.
