Lift and re-lay block paving in Bushey: the local picture
In Bushey, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Clay soils are common in parts of the East of England, so drainage and sub-base depth get extra attention.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Bushey?
In the East of England, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £35–£85 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £1,100–£2,500. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.
