Lift and re-lay block paving in Skelmersdale: the local picture
In Skelmersdale, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
Lift and re-lay means taking up an existing block paved area, cleaning and stacking the blocks, correcting the bed and the sub-base, and laying the same blocks back down. When the blocks are still sound, it fixes widespread sinking, rocking and uneven joints for less than a new drive, because the blocks themselves are re-used.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
