What is included?
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.
Block drives laid twenty or thirty years ago are often ready for re-laying rather than replacing, because sound blocks outlast a weak base.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Nottinghamshire: 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.
