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.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
How we find the cause
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks

Lift and re-lay in South Glamorgan: questions
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in South Glamorgan?
Our guide is £35–£75 per m² including VAT. Small repairs are often priced from photos.
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.
Can you send someone just to look?
For larger or unclear problems we visit; for small repairs, clear photos with a tape measure in shot are often enough to price it.
Can you repair block paving in South Glamorgan 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.
