Lift and re-lay block paving in Bedworth: what to expect
In Bedworth, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course

Lift and re-lay in Bedworth: questions
Do you cover Nuneaton, Kenilworth and Rugby?
Yes. We cover Bedworth and the places around it, including Nuneaton, Kenilworth and Rugby, and the rest of Warwickshire.
Can you repair block paving in Bedworth 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.
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.
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.
