Lift and re-lay block paving in Newton-le-Willows: what to expect
Newton-le-Willows 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.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Newton-le-Willows: questions
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.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Newton-le-Willows?

Can you repair block paving in Newton-le-Willows 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.
