What you get with our lift and re-lay service

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
  • Jointing sand and compaction
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking

How we find the cause

  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
  • Trees, roots and past trenches
  • How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
