Planning a lift and re-lay job in Selby
Around Selby, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Selby?
For Selby, our guide is £30–£70 per m² including VAT, so 30 m² re-laid is likely to be £950–£2,150. 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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
