Lift and re-lay block paving in Epsom: what to expect
Epsom is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Epsom?
For Epsom, our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,150–£2,600. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- 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
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Epsom: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Epsom?
Our guide is £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Do you cover Ewell, Banstead and Leatherhead?
Yes. We cover Epsom and the places around it, including Ewell, Banstead and Leatherhead, and the rest of Surrey.
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 Epsom 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.
