Planning a lift and re-lay job in Royton
Around Royton, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
