What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Lift and re-lay in Lancashire: questions
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.
