Planning a lift and re-lay job in Leigh
In Leigh, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Leigh?
In the North West, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £35–£80 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £1,050–£2,400. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
What we look at first in Leigh
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Lift and re-lay in Leigh: questions
Can you repair block paving in Leigh 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.
Do you cover Atherton, Tyldesley and Westhoughton?
Yes. We cover Leigh and the places around it, including Atherton, Tyldesley and Westhoughton, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
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.
