Planning a lift and re-lay job in Pontypridd
Pontypridd is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

Lift and re-lay in Pontypridd: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Pontypridd?
Our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
Do you cover Tonyrefail, Nelson, Mid Glamorgan and Llantrisant?
Yes. We cover Pontypridd and the places around it, including Tonyrefail, Nelson, Mid Glamorgan and Llantrisant, and the rest of Mid Glamorgan.
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 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.
