- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course

Lift and re-lay in Farnborough: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Farnborough?
Our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Do you cover Aldershot, Fleet and Yateley?
Yes. We cover Farnborough and the places around it, including Aldershot, Fleet and Yateley, and the rest of Hampshire.
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 repair block paving in Farnborough 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.
