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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
