What is included?
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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Yes. We cover all of Herefordshire, including Hereford, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
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 Herefordshire 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.
