Might be a daft question guys, but I've around 200 2x2 concrete slabs which are well past their best. I plan to replace them over the Summer, but lifting & disposing is a wee bit daunting to me & I'm wondering if it would make sense to lay the new slabs on a sand base on top of the existing ones (similar to tiling on top of tiles). DPC won't be affected. Any thoughts & advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Alan
Can you lay slabs on top of slabs? - Can you lay slabs on top of slabs?

thats a NO then al :;):
if you dont mind your new stuff cracking after a bit and you will still be 150 below dpc then it might be a budget alternative for a while ,but no pro would want to touch it
if the existing are very sound with no cracks or movement you could lay the newer ones on a mortar bed ,but cavaet emptor
i wouldnt do it
