What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

Lift and re-lay in Huddersfield: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Huddersfield?
Our guide is £30–£70 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Can you repair block paving in Huddersfield 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.
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.
