Lift and re-lay block paving in Llantwit Major: the local picture
In and around Llantwit Major, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
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.
