Lift and re-lay block paving in Tiverton: the local picture
Around Tiverton, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
The South West is wetter than the east of England, so falls and drainage are planned before the pattern is chosen.

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.
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
