Planning a lift and re-lay job in Droylsden
Around Droylsden, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Terraced streets across the North West often have very short frontages, so we check parking depth before quoting a conversion.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- 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
- Falls, so water does not collect again

Lift and re-lay in Droylsden: questions
Do you cover Failsworth, Denton and Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. We cover Droylsden and the places around it, including Failsworth, Denton and Ashton-under-Lyne, and the rest of Greater Manchester.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
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.
Can you repair block paving in Droylsden 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.
