Planning a lift and re-lay job in Wigston
Homes in Wigston include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Wigston?
For Wigston, our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,050–£2,400. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

Lift and re-lay in Wigston: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Wigston?
Our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you repair block paving in Wigston 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.
Do you cover Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley?
Yes. We cover Wigston and the places around it, including Oadby, Leicester and Hinckley, and the rest of Leicestershire.
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.
