Planning a lift and re-lay job in Totton
In Totton, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Totton?
In the South East, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £40–£85 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £1,150–£2,600. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
