Lift and re-lay block paving in Leatherhead: what to expect
Homes in Leatherhead include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Leatherhead?
For Leatherhead, 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.

Can you send someone just to look?
