Lift and re-lay block paving in Motherwell: the local picture
Homes in Motherwell include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
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 Motherwell?
In Scotland, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £35–£80 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £1,050–£2,400. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
