Lift and re-lay block paving in Rhyl: the local picture
In Rhyl, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- 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
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
