Lift and re-lay block paving in Dundonald: the local picture
In and around Dundonald, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Lift and re-lay in Dundonald: questions
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.
Can you repair block paving in Dundonald without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
