What is included?
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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches

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