Overview
This large paving project was completed in Wadhurst, East Sussex, involving the lifting, cleaning, and re-laying of existing paving across a residential outdoor area. CM Read Builders were appointed to address issues with the original surface and install a new, properly prepared sub-base to improve durability, drainage, and long-term performance.
By reusing the existing paving materials, the project delivered a refreshed finish while ensuring the underlying structure met the required standards.
