Lift and re-lay block paving in Redcar: the local picture
In Redcar, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair

Lift and re-lay in Redcar: questions
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.
