Lift and re-lay block paving in Castleford: what to expect

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
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set

Lift and re-lay in Castleford: questions
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 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.
Do you cover Pontefract, Lofthouse and Wakefield?
Yes. We cover Castleford and the places around it, including Pontefract, Lofthouse and Wakefield, and the rest of West Yorkshire.
Can you repair block paving in Castleford 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.
