Lift and re-lay block paving in Bexhill-on-Sea: the local picture
Bexhill-on-Sea is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Bexhill-on-Sea?
For Bexhill-on-Sea, our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,150–£2,600. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Lift and re-lay in Bexhill-on-Sea: questions
Can you repair block paving in Bexhill-on-Sea 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.
