Lift and re-lay block paving in Hounslow: what to expect
Hounslow has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Front gardens in much of London are short, so parking depth and the dropped kerb usually decide whether a drive is possible.

Expect lift and re-lay jobs in Hounslow to come in at around £40–£95 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, 30 m² re-laid usually comes to between £1,250 and £2,900.

Lift and re-lay in Hounslow: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Hounslow?
Our guide is £40–£95 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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 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.
