Planning a lift and re-lay job in Stratford
Stratford is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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 Stratford?
For Stratford, 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
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.
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction

Lift and re-lay in Stratford: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Stratford?
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.
Do you cover Canning Town, Canary Wharf and Leytonstone?
Yes. We cover Stratford and the places around it, including Canning Town, Canary Wharf and Leytonstone, and the rest of Greater London.
Can you send someone just to look?
