Planning a lift and re-lay job in Leamington Spa
In Leamington Spa, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.

Lift and re-lay in Leamington Spa: questions
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.
Can you repair block paving in Leamington Spa 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.
Do you cover Warwick, Kenilworth and Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes. We cover Leamington Spa and the places around it, including Warwick, Kenilworth and Stratford-upon-Avon, and the rest of Warwickshire.
