What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
