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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches

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.
