Lift and re-lay block paving in Ballymoney: what to expect
Around Ballymoney, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.

What is included?
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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
