What you get with our lift and re-lay service

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.

  • New screeded laying course
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
  • Lifting, cleaning and stacking
  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
