Lift and re-lay block paving in Yateley: the local picture
In and around Yateley, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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 Yateley?
For Yateley, our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,150–£2,600. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

Lift and re-lay in Yateley: questions
Do you cover Fleet, Farnborough and Aldershot?
Yes. We cover Yateley and the places around it, including Fleet, Farnborough and Aldershot, 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 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.
Can you repair block paving in Yateley 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.
