Lift and re-lay block paving in Larkhall: the local picture
Larkhall 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.
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.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Larkhall?
For Larkhall, our guide is £35–£80 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £1,050–£2,400. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains

Lift and re-lay in Larkhall: questions
Do you cover Hamilton, Wishaw and Motherwell?
Yes. We cover Larkhall and the places around it, including Hamilton, Wishaw and Motherwell, and the rest of Lanarkshire.
Why does block paving sink?
Most dips come from a thin or poorly compacted sub-base, too much sand under the blocks, failed edging, or water washing material out from a broken drain.
Can you repair block paving in Larkhall without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
