Lift and re-lay block paving in Grangemouth: the local picture
In and around Grangemouth, 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 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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
