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.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
