What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- 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
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

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