Planning a lift and re-lay job in Brynmawr
Around Brynmawr, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

What is included?
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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
What we look at first in Brynmawr
