Lift and re-lay block paving in Uxbridge: the local picture

Uxbridge has a big mix of housing, from older terraces near the centre to newer estates further out, so no two drives here start from the same ground.

Many London streets have controlled parking and narrow frontages, so we measure the car space and the crossover before anything else.

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.

  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • New screeded laying course
  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

What we look at first in Uxbridge

  • Trees, roots and past trenches
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
