What you get with our lift and re-lay service

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.

  • Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
  • Jointing sand and compaction
  • New screeded laying course
  • Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
  • Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed

Before we price your lift and re-lay job

  • What caused the dip or movement: base, laying course, edging or drains
  • Falls, so water does not collect again
  • Whether a drain or gully is leaking under the paving
  • Condition and thickness of your existing blocks
  • Replacement blocks or hidden blocks to swap in
