PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

The range of “Permeable Block Paving” is even better for patio or driveway installation.

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and Driveline.

Blocks have a nib around the edge which interlocks to increase the surface stability. However it creates gaps which surface water can easily enter to a specially prepared subbase.

We work in Stanley plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large soakaway.

Geotextile can be described as permeable fabric. It is used to separate sub-base from the ground. This allows the surface water through the fabric without losing sub-base.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving can also be known as brick-paving. This is a widely used decorative technique to create a driveway, or pavement. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. Bricks can be used as pavement in many different ways. The most popular is the herringbone pattern, which provides the strongest bond among all blocks because of their interlocking.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful aesthetic results. It is a very popular choice because it allows homeowners to choose the brick patterns and styles that they want, as well as how they arrange the blocks.

Block Paving is the best option for your driveway due to its numerous benefits. It is typically more expensive than other driveway options, but can provide greater benefits and lasts longer if properly maintained. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

Block paving driveways are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

Block Paving Driveway Costs:

  • Materials: You have many choices when it comes to paving and blocks, and each type and brand has a different price.
  • Groundwork or base: Block Paving driveways require a foundation. It is typically made from crushed stones and similar materials. The sub-base is compacted to provide a solid base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • Excavation & Waste disposal: Other activities such as digging up your driveway or disposing of any waste materials will be included in your quote.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried Sand is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This reduces the chance of people slipping on the surface. It also eliminates potential damage that water could cause if there is no drainage or water pooling.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. You can easily lift individual blocks of block paving bricks if they are cracked or damaged. But with regular maintenance this should be rare. Block paving driveways will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. The driveway’s quality will be affected by any changes in the concrete beneath the block-paving. This may make it more complicated to replace a damaged one. Concrete cracks can be negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving is possible as long as the subbase can be kept dry for a stable, fully set surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the weather.

Yes! For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. Any masonry paint can be used and applied with a roller just like exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the driveway is properly installed with solid groundwork, a deep sub-base and proper drainage, a sloped driveway can look great with block paving.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. If you pressure wash your driveway with too strong a force, it can cause cracks in the sand and result in uneven or loosed blocks. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
