Planning a lift and re-lay job in Barrow-in-Furness
Homes in Barrow-in-Furness include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- 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
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
