Lift and re-lay block paving in Bellshill: what to expect
Bellshill is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Frost and heavy rain test paving in Scotland, so a well-drained sub-base and full joints matter as much as the blocks.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Bellshill?
Expect lift and re-lay jobs in Bellshill to come in at around £35–£80 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, 30 m² re-laid usually comes to between £1,050 and £2,400.

What is included?
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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
