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.
- Jointing sand and compaction
- 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
