What is included?

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.

Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.

  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
  • New screeded laying course
  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Jointing sand and compaction

How we find the cause

  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • Trees, roots and past trenches

How it works

  1. Quick details

    Your postcode and the job. It takes a minute.

  2. On-site check

    Measurements, levels against the damp-proof course, ground and drainage.

  3. Itemised quote

    Fixed once the specification is agreed, with no vague extras.

  4. Laid and finished

    Compacted, jointed and handed back clean.

Lift and re-lay in West Yorkshire: 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 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.
