Lift and re-lay block paving in Colwyn Bay: what to expect
Colwyn Bay is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Falls, so water does not collect again
