Lift and re-lay block paving in Bognor Regis: what to expect
Bognor Regis is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Lift and re-lay in Bognor Regis: 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.
