Lift and re-lay block paving in Wilmslow: the local picture
Wilmslow is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

Lift and re-lay in Wilmslow: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Wilmslow?
Our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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 Macclesfield, Congleton and Northwich?
Yes. We cover Wilmslow and the places around it, including Macclesfield, Congleton and Northwich, and the rest of Cheshire.
Can you repair block paving in Wilmslow 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.
