Planning a lift and re-lay job in Washington
In Washington, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Washington?
Most lift and re-lay job quotes in the North East fall within £30–£70 per m² including VAT. 30 m² re-laid would usually be about £950–£2,150, with any extras listed separately on your quote.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
