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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Lift and re-lay in Pitsea: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Pitsea?
Our guide is £35–£85 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you repair block paving in Pitsea 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.
