What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
