Planning a lift and re-lay job in Denton
In Denton, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
