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.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Lift and re-lay in Oxfordshire: questions
Do you cover Oxford, Banbury and Abingdon?
Yes. We cover all of Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury and Abingdon.
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.
