Lift and re-lay block paving in Prestatyn: the local picture
Prestatyn is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

Expect lift and re-lay jobs in Prestatyn to come in at around £35–£75 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, 30 m² re-laid usually comes to between £980 and £2,250.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
