Planning a lift and re-lay job in Hazel Grove
Hazel Grove is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Hazel Grove?

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
- New screeded laying course
- 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

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
