Someone mentioned a turf cutting machine, I doubt this would work

Not for the sections that have really sunk, only for those bits that
just look a bit muddy and squashed grass and after letting it have a
chance to recover.

Thanks everybody for your tips and advice, including those who emailed me
AND the IOW Urglers, John and Penny who came to visit and see :-))

Wonderful helpful lot, ................. mainly ;-)

ACTION decided. Fork, as has been suggested, the tacks which snake between
the plants to ease compaction. Fork in a small amount of compost and leave
slightly raised for settling. Grass already there should spread across and
not show ..................... we hope.

The rest, which is very wet, fork and rake and wait and see what happens.
Doesn't show in the pictures, but the grass 'is' there, but it has been left
rough, so with forking and raking, it might recover.

The contractors are now down at the the Restaurant sorting out the Function
Room on the first floor and the apartment on the top floor. Got to take some
progress shots today as the kitchen is due to start today. Mustn't hold that
up, the Function Room is wanted for St Valentine's Day ;-))

Thanks for your great interest and help. A lot goes on off screen ;-)))

Mike
