Lift and re-lay block paving in Horley: the local picture
Around Horley, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

For Horley, 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 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
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
What we look at first in Horley
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Horley: questions
Can you repair block paving in Horley 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.
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.

Yes. We cover Horley and the places around it, including Redhill, Reigate and Caterham, and the rest of Surrey.
Can you send someone just to look?
