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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
