Planning a lift and re-lay job in Nuneaton
Across Nuneaton, front gardens range from narrow terrace plots to broad modern drives, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
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.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Lift and re-lay in Nuneaton: 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.
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 Nuneaton 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.
