Planning a lift and re-lay job in Cannock
Cannock 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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Lift and re-lay in Cannock: 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 repair block paving in Cannock 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.
