Lift and re-lay block paving in Stourport-on-Severn: what to expect

In and around Stourport-on-Severn, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.

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.

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
  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

How we find the cause

  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Trees, roots and past trenches
  • Falls, so water does not collect again
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Lift and re-lay in Stourport-on-Severn: 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.

Can you repair block paving in Stourport-on-Severn 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.

Do you cover Kidderminster, Droitwich and Bromsgrove?

Yes. We cover Stourport-on-Severn and the places around it, including Kidderminster, Droitwich and Bromsgrove, and the rest of Worcestershire.
