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.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Jointing sand and compaction
How we find the cause
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Lift and re-lay in Powys: questions
Can you repair block paving in Powys without replacing it?
Usually, yes. We lift the affected blocks, fix the bed or base, and re-lay the same blocks so the repair matches.
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.
