Lift and re-lay block paving in Ellesmere Port: what to expect
Ellesmere Port is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
