Lift and re-lay block paving in Maesteg: what to expect
Around Maesteg, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Maesteg?
For Maesteg, 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 is included?
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.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
