Lift and re-lay block paving in Monmouth: what to expect
In and around Monmouth, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
