Planning a lift and re-lay job in Felixstowe
In and around Felixstowe, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

Lift and re-lay in Felixstowe: 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.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
