Are you fed up with your paving or has the paving in your garden started to sag? Then repaving is probably high on the list of projects around your home. In this article, you will find all the information surrounding the costs of repaving.
What does repaving cost?
Paving involves various cost items. These include removing the old tiles, laying a bed of sand, raising the garden and, of course, laying new tiles. The table below shows the average repaving costs per cost item.
| Price, incl. VAT | |
|---|---|
| Paving tiles | £ 15 – £ 65 per m2 |
| Cost of paver* | £ 20 – £ 40 per m2 £ 30 – £ 60 per hour |
| Removal of old tiles | £ 30 – £ 45 per hour |
| Disposing old tiles | £ 40 – £ 45 per hour |
| Improving and grouting sand | £ 50 – £ 70 per m3 |
* Pavers calculate the laying of tiles in two ways; 1: per m², 2: per hour. This depends on the difficulty of the laying pattern you want to have laid with your tiles and the size of the tiles. For a particular laying pattern, the paver often charges a price per hour because it takes more time. For a simple paving of the garden, the price is often per m2.

Pricing examples repaving
Expensive repaving
If you want to repave cheaply, you will use the same tiles you have in your garden now. The tiles are first removed to raise the ground. Then, all the tiles are put back tightly and firmly. The re-paving costs of a 20 m² garden are on average £ 500.
Replace the tiles
Most people choose re-paving by removing the current tiles, levelling the garden and having new tiles placed. If you opt for large concrete tiles that are easy for a paver to lay, you will pay an average of £1,200 for the entire project, including tiles, for a 20 m² area.
Have natural stone tiles installed
The most expensive option for repaving your garden is to have your old tiles removed and disposed of by a paver. The ground is then raised and natural stone tiles are placed. For a 20 m² garden, you will pay an average of £2,600 for the entire repaving project.
How is the price for repaving structured?
What choices determine the price for repaving?
If you are going to have your garden repaved, you will be faced with the following choices, all of which will affect the total price.
Choice 1: Clearing your garden
When repaving, the first thing to do is to clear your current garden. Consider removing the old tiles/grass/planters and disposing of them. Don’t mind rolling up your sleeves yourself? Have a paver pave your garden on his own and remove and dispose of the old tiles yourself. By lending a hand yourself, you will easily save on the overall cost.
Choice 2: Type of tiles
You have a choice of different types of tiles. See below which tiles these are, the characteristics of these tiles and whether they fit within your budget that you have in mind.
| Tile tiles | Price per m², incl. VAT | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Bet concrete tiles | £15 – £35 | Sturdy tiles, which means the tiles will last a long time. Tiles start to discolour after a few years. Available in all sizes, shapes and different colours |
Choice 3: Extra options
Make use of these extra options to enjoy your tiles for as long as possible.
| Product | Price | Benefit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compounding straps | £5 – £10 per metre | The paving remains extra firmly in its place. |
|
| Sierke | £ 7 – £ 35 per m² | Provides an extra nice look and is good for drainage. |
|
| Dividing bands | £ 10 – £ 30 per metre | For level differences in your garden or beds. |
