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
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • New screeded laying course
  • Jointing sand and compaction
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

How we find the cause

  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • 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

Lift and re-lay in Bletchley: questions

Can you repair block paving in Bletchley 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.

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.

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.

Do you cover Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Chesham?

Yes. We cover Bletchley and the places around it, including Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Chesham, and the rest of Buckinghamshire.
