Planning a lift and re-lay job in Abergele
Around Abergele, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
Lift and re-lay means taking up an existing block paved area, cleaning and stacking the blocks, correcting the bed and the sub-base, and laying the same blocks back down. When the blocks are still sound, it fixes widespread sinking, rocking and uneven joints for less than a new drive, because the blocks themselves are re-used.
- 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
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction

Can you send someone just to look?

Why does block paving sink?
