How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Warwickshire?
For Warwickshire, our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,050–£2,400. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.
| Item | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Lift and re-lay on a sound base | £35–£80 per m² |
| Small repair (a few blocks or a short trench) | £200–£650 |
| Sunken or rutted patch repaired | £300–£1,200 |
| Lift and re-lay with sub-base rebuilt | £60–£110 per m² |

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.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Warwickshire: questions
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
Do you cover Nuneaton, Rugby and Leamington Spa?
Yes. We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Leamington Spa.
Can you repair block paving in Warwickshire 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.
