Lift and re-lay block paving in Woking: the local picture
Woking has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

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