PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

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.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

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

The blocks are interlocked by a nib at the edges. This creates surface stability, but also creates voids that surface water can easily flow through to a sub-base.

We work in Maythorne plus these local areas and more:

This system allows slow releases of water into the environment through a process called “attenuation”. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. The SuDS and Permeable Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

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 will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Contact us if you’d like to receive a quote on your paving project. To assess the groundwork and to determine the scope of the work required, we will conduct a no-obligation site survey. Once we have completed the survey, you will receive a quote for your project at a very competitive price.

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 are a great way to create many different patterns of paving. One of the most common is the herringbone design, which allows for the strongest interlocking between the blocks.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. It’s a popular choice due to the wide variety of brick patterns and styles available, along with almost every aspect of the process.

Block paving can be a good choice for your driveway solution due to the many benefits it provides. Block paving is more expensive than other driveway surfacing options but it will last for longer and offer more benefits if it is maintained well. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for costly repairs
  • There is a large selection of colors and shapes you can choose from
  • Increases your property’s market value
  • Because of interlocking between blocks, driveways are more durable than other types

Block paving driveways are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. These specialists are skilled in interlocking and laying blocks. A driveway company will guarantee a flawless driveway, so you don’t have to try to do it yourself. You can also share your design preferences with them and they’ll help you choose a colour that will complement the rest on your property. The length of the project will depend on how large the driveway is, but it is much faster than other driveway surfacing options.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. You will find that the price of your new driveway will vary by region.

The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:

  • Materials: You have many choices when it comes to paving and blocks, and each type and brand has a different price.
  • The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. 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: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. Block paved driveways are most commonly laid using kiln dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. Block paving is a highly porous, durable material that can be used to make driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over 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.

Block paving can be used for many years if laid correctly. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. If a block paving brick is cracked or damaged, it can be lifted separately. However, with regular maintenance, this should not be an issue. Block paving driveways can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. It is not a good idea to just lay concrete to add paving blocks. 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 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.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

Yes! To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Before you paint blocks, make sure they are completely dry. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

You are able to use block paving if you have a sloped driveway. 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.

Jet washing block paving is possible – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a low pressure. You should not pressure wash your driveway too hard. This can cause damage to the sand that holds it in place. It will also result in loosening blocks and uneven surfaces. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
