Planning a lift and re-lay job in Llanelli
Llanelli is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

Lift and re-lay in Llanelli: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Llanelli?
Our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Do you cover Ammanford, Carmarthen and Gorseinon?
Yes. We cover Llanelli and the places around it, including Ammanford, Carmarthen and Gorseinon, and the rest of Dyfed.
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 Llanelli 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.
