Lift and re-lay block paving in Neath: what to expect
Homes in Neath include plenty of semis and detached houses with room for a drive, plus older terraces where parking is tighter.
Hilly streets in much of Wales mean many drives slope, which shapes the falls, the edging and the water route.

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.
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
How we find the cause
- Whether the edging has moved or was never set in concrete
- Trees, roots and past trenches
- Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
- Falls, so water does not collect again
- Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in

Lift and re-lay in Neath: questions
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.

Can you repair block paving in Neath 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.
