Lift and re-lay block paving in Salisbury: what to expect
In Salisbury, many front gardens have already been paved once, so new paving often starts with breaking out the old surface.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.

What you get with our lift and re-lay service
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.
- New screeded laying course
- Survey of the blocks: thickness, damage and whether they are worth re-using
- Sub-base repaired or rebuilt where needed
- Lifting, cleaning and stacking
- Blocks relaid, new cuts made, edges re-set
