Lift and re-lay block paving in Welling: what to expect
Welling 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.

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