Lift and re-lay block paving in Pencoed: what to expect
In and around Pencoed, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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 Pencoed?

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

Lift and re-lay in Pencoed: questions
Do you cover Bridgend, Aberkenfig and Tonyrefail?
Yes. We cover Pencoed and the places around it, including Bridgend, Aberkenfig and Tonyrefail, and the rest of Mid Glamorgan.
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.
Can you repair block paving in Pencoed 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.
