Lift and re-lay block paving in Craigavon: the local picture
Craigavon is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Craigavon?
For Craigavon, our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,000–£2,300. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Do you cover Portadown, Armagh and Banbridge?
Yes. We cover Craigavon and the places around it, including Portadown, Armagh and Banbridge, and the rest of County Armagh.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
