Planning a lift and re-lay job in Chapeltown
Chapeltown is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.

What does a lift and re-lay job involve?
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.
- New screeded laying course
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
How we find the cause
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
- Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving

Lift and re-lay in Chapeltown: questions
Can you repair block paving in Chapeltown 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.
Do you cover Rotherham, Sheffield and Barnsley?
Yes. We cover Chapeltown and the places around it, including Rotherham, Sheffield and Barnsley, and the rest of South Yorkshire.
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.
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.
