Lift and re-lay block paving in Cheadle Hulme: the local picture
Homes in Cheadle Hulme include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.

What is included?
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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Lift and re-lay in Cheadle Hulme: 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.
Do you cover Stockport, Hazel Grove and Denton?
Yes. We cover Cheadle Hulme and the places around it, including Stockport, Hazel Grove and Denton, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Can you repair block paving in Cheadle Hulme 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.
