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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Lift and re-lay in Forth Valley: questions
Do you cover Stirling, Falkirk and Alloa?
Yes. We cover all of the Forth Valley, including Stirling, Falkirk and Alloa.
Can you repair block paving in Forth Valley 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.
