What is included?
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.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

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