Planning a lift and re-lay job in Sunbury-on-Thames
Sunbury-on-Thames 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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

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.
