Planning a lift and re-lay job in Barnet
Barnet is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.

- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your lift and re-lay job

How we work
Itemised quotes
Break-out, waste, edging, drainage and covers are separate lines you can see.
Water planned first

Clean finish
The site is swept, the joints are filled and you are shown how to look after the paving.
Edges set in concrete
Every edge restraint is bedded and haunched, so the paving cannot creep.
