Lift and re-lay block paving in Fulham: what to expect
Fulham has everything from short terrace frontages to wide drives on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout and the dig.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Fulham?
For Fulham, our guide is £40–£95 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,250–£2,900. 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
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

Lift and re-lay in Fulham: 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.
