Lift and re-lay block paving in Dalgety Bay: the local picture
In and around Dalgety Bay, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Lift and re-lay in Dalgety Bay: questions
Can you repair block paving in Dalgety Bay 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.
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.
