I had a patio laid last year and several of the slabs are now wobbly. What can I do to remedy this?

Correct. But it is nice to know how they were laid ie:- wet mix' dry mix, or just on sand. Was the sub base preperation in compliance, just for the anoraks here :;):

As LLL says...take up and relay. If we knew how they were
Laid and was done wrong then we can guide you in the right direction and try make sure it is done right.

Thanks for the response guys. I've no idea how the chap laid em but we had to have him back soon after as some were wobbly. Now more are. I was afraid the answer would be to take up and relay I will try and work out how to post a photo on here....

Pretty much going to have to redo the lot even the ones redone.
If their failing that fast the rest won't be far behind

generally if the laying technique is poor for one it will be poor all round
I see this all the time and it makes me sad and angry
