Planning a lift and re-lay job in North Walsham
Around North Walsham, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Flat ground across much of the East means falls have to be built in carefully so water does not sit on the drive.

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.
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Jointing sand and compaction

Lift and re-lay in North Walsham: questions

Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
