Lift and re-lay block paving in Trowbridge: the local picture
Trowbridge is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Trowbridge?
For Trowbridge, our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,050–£2,400. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

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.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
