Lift and re-lay block paving in Bargoed: the local picture
Bargoed 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.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Bargoed?
For Bargoed, our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £980–£2,250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- 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
How we find the cause
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
