Lift and re-lay block paving in Redhill: the local picture
Redhill is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
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.

What is included?
Lift and re-lay means taking up an existing block paved area, cleaning and stacking the blocks, correcting the bed and the sub-base, and laying the same blocks back down. When the blocks are still sound, it fixes widespread sinking, rocking and uneven joints for less than a new drive, because the blocks themselves are re-used.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Trees, roots and past trenches

Lift and re-lay in Redhill: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Redhill?
Our guide is £40–£85 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.
Do you cover Reigate, Horley and Caterham?
Yes. We cover Redhill and the places around it, including Reigate, Horley and Caterham, and the rest of Surrey.
Can you repair block paving in Redhill 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.
