Planning a lift and re-lay job in Kilsyth
In and around Kilsyth, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
