What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
Inter-war semis with narrow front gardens are common in the West Midlands, so front garden conversions and drive widenings are often the practical choice.
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Lift and re-lay in Worcestershire: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Worcestershire?
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 Worcestershire 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.
