Planning a lift and re-lay job in Brierley Hill
Brierley Hill is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Brierley Hill: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Brierley Hill?
Our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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 Brierley Hill 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.
