Lift and re-lay block paving in Tonypandy: the local picture
Homes in Tonypandy include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

For Tonypandy, 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 does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- 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
