Planning a lift and re-lay job in Clevedon

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.
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete

Lift and re-lay in Clevedon: questions
Can you send someone just to look?

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.
