Planning a lift and re-lay job in Gosforth
In and around Gosforth, village-style frontages sit alongside newer cul-de-sacs, so the right block often depends on the age of the house.
Wind-driven rain on the North East coast makes falls and a well-filled joint more important.

- New screeded laying course
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
