What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
