Planning a lift and re-lay job in Bracknell

What is included?
It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
