Lift and re-lay block paving in Bedlington: what to expect
In and around Bedlington, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
It is also the way to change a layout, add drainage or a recessed cover, or raise or lower a drive, without buying new blocks. A small allowance of new blocks is usually needed for breakages and new cuts.
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- 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
How we find the cause
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
