Lift and re-lay block paving in Crowborough: the local picture
In and around Crowborough, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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.

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

Our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Why does block paving sink?
