PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

A wider range of Permeable Block Paving is available for driveway and patio installations.

This permeable solution allows water to quickly drain into the under-base and slowly into the ground. It is ideal for Sustainable Drainage Sytems (SuDS), which reduces flooding potential.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

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

The blocks have a nib along the edge that interlocks to improve the surface stability. However, it creates voids which surface waters can easily pass through to a specially prepared base.

We work in Kirklington 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, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of 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 is a permeable fabric that is laid to separate the sub-base and ground. It allows water to pass through the surface without causing any loss to the ground.

Block Paving will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method to create a driveway or pavement. These bricks or blocks are made of clay, concrete or other composite materials. You can create many different patterns with bricks. The most popular one is the herringbone. Bricks are used for pavement because they provide the strongest connection between all the blocks.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. 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. Block paving can be more expensive that other driveway surfacing options. However, it can last longer than other options and can offer more benefits if cared for properly. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • Enhances the property’s overall appearance
  • There are no costly repairs required as individual bricks can be easily replaced.
  • A large range of colors, shapes and sizes to choose from
  • Your property’s value will increase
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paving driveways can be installed by driveway professionals who have many years of experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. A driveway company will guarantee a flawless driveway, so you don’t have to try to do it yourself. They can help you pick the right colour for your property by letting you know the design and pattern that you prefer. The project’s length will depend on the area to which it needs to be paved. However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

The following are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:

  • * Materials
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. Each block is secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure for the entire drive.

Kiln dried sand has no moisture and is totally dry. It also has a fine texture that makes it perfect for packing block paving blocks. This type of sand doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. Block paving will need to be maintained over time. But you can easily remove damaged blocks or areas rather than replacing the entire driveway. 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 can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. Concrete should not be laid just to place paving blocks over it. It is important to keep in mind that any concrete changes below the block paving can impact the overall quality and may require a more complex repair than simply relaying a damaged block. Concrete cracks may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. 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.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Is it possible to jet wash block paving? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low pressure. Over-pressure washing your driveway can damage the sand, which holds it in place. You will end up with loose blocks or an uneven surface. You can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. After the sand has dried, clean your paving.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
