Homes in Kirkby include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course

Lift and re-lay in Kirkby: questions
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.
Can you repair block paving in Kirkby 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.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Kirkby?
Our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.
