Lift and re-lay block paving in Burnley: what to expect
Burnley has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

Expect lift and re-lay jobs in Burnley to come in at around £35–£80 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, 30 m² re-laid usually comes to between £1,050 and £2,400.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
