Lift and re-lay block paving in Wisbech: what to expect
Homes in Wisbech include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.

What is included?
Lift and re-lay means taking up an existing block paved area, cleaning and stacking the blocks, correcting the bed and the sub-base, and laying the same blocks back down. When the blocks are still sound, it fixes widespread sinking, rocking and uneven joints for less than a new drive, because the blocks themselves are re-used.
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking

- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

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.
