"Sunk blocks is a common problem on brick pav d drives, generally they can be lifted and delayed, no need to lift the full drive way depending on the size of the area, prices will vary a lot depending on size of area and how far they have sunk"

"Hi.
Yes they can. The driveway would probably need pressure washing and re sanding to remove weeds ,then the sunken blocks lifted and relayed.

Price for average size driveway cleaning and resend is £200.00

Price for lift and relay is £45.00 per M2.

Kings regards.
Steve."
