Lifting and re-laying existing paving — Paving contractor
Describe where the paving has moved and whether water pools or vehicles use the area. Photographs and any history of earlier repairs help the contractor distinguish a local surface reset from work that needs wider support or drainage investigation.
Service scope
Reuse and reinstallation of existing paving units after assessment of settlement, unevenness or a changed layout. Surface lifting and re-laying should be distinguished from correcting the underlying cause, and the condition and availability of reusable units must be checked before promising a complete match.
What is normally included
- Existing-paving assessment
- Agreed lifting and reuse of suitable units
- Defined base, level or layout corrections
What is not included
- Guaranteed reuse of every existing unit
- Cosmetic re-laying as a cure for an unassessed structural or drainage defect
Typical tasks
- Map affected paving
- Assess reusable units
- Investigate the agreed underlying scope
- Re-lay to the specified layout and levels
- Record replaced units and remaining limitations
What to include in your brief
- Affected area
- Defect photographs
- Loading and use
- Previous repairs
- Spare or matching-unit availability
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the proposal addresses the reason for movement and how breakages or unavailable matching units are handled. A low price for lifting and resetting alone may not include the remedial work needed below the surface.
Important considerations
- Units can be damaged or unsuitable for reuse
- Uncorrected base or drainage problems can cause recurrence
