Planning a lift and re-lay job in Auchterarder
Around Auchterarder, plots are often larger and drives longer, so edging, falls and the route the water takes need planning.
In Scotland, front paving must be porous or drain within the property whatever its size, so drainage is part of every design.
In Scotland block paving is often called monoblock; it is the same thing, and the same rules for the base, edging and drainage apply.

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.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Jointing sand and compaction
- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
Before we price your lift and re-lay job
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- How much of the area needs lifting to blend the repair
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
