Lift and re-lay block paving in Pontypool: what to expect
Homes in Pontypool include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
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 Pontypool?
In Wales, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £35–£75 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £980–£2,250. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.
