Lift and re-lay block paving in Aberkenfig: the local picture
Aberkenfig 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.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Aberkenfig?
For Aberkenfig, our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £980–£2,250. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course

- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Lift and re-lay in Aberkenfig: questions
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.
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.
