Planning a lift and re-lay job in Dewsbury
Dewsbury is a sizeable town with a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many drives here were first laid decades ago.
Yorkshire has everything from stone-built terraces to large new estates, so block choice often follows the house: clay or tumbled blocks for older homes, crisp concrete for newer ones.

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
- Jointing sand and compaction
- 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
