Planning a lift and re-lay job in Heywood
Homes in Heywood include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Lift and re-lay in Heywood: questions
Can you repair block paving in Heywood 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.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Heywood?
Our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.
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.
