I need to lift a huge yorkstone flag, approx 4ft by 4 ft by 4 inch
thick, by about 2 inches, & rebed on mortar etc as

Is it rocking? Ff so just level up the side that appears to drop and
shovel in the mortar on that edge/corner. Bearing in mind the weight
and size I doubt if you need to re-bed the whole slab - gravity will
keep it in place.


Not rocking, it "just" needs raising 50mm to accommodate a new
paving scheme.


Are your new paving slabs thin enough to go on top of the current one?
