PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

You can now choose from a larger selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving’ for your driveway or patio installation.

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with 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 New Eastwood plus these local areas and more:

This system allows surface water to slowly be released back into the surrounding environment, a process called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of water. Permeable pavement and SuDS balance the situation, allowing ground to absorb, store, then slowly release the water in controlled ways – just like a big 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 is a great way to enhance your garden, whether it’s a commercial or domestic one. It also provides a clean walkway for family members, friends and employees. 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. Bricks and blocks used in this type of paving can be made from clay or concrete. Sometimes, other composite materials are also used. 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.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning 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.

Because of its wide variety of benefits, block paving is the best choice for driveway solutions. 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. 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 should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. These specialists are skilled in interlocking and laying blocks. You won’t be able to achieve a perfect driveway if you do not hire a company to help you. 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 Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. Price will vary depending on where you live.

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

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • 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. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • 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 of the drive is held in place by the sand, which locks it into its adjacent neighbor.

Kiln dried sandy sand is completely sterile and free of moisture. This type of sand is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. There will be maintenance needs over time. However, block paving allows you to simply replace a damaged block or section rather than having to replace 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 will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. Both white vinegar and rock sal are natural weed-killers that can also be used to prevent future growth. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

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. 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. Block paving driveways on concrete should be thoroughly evaluated by professionals to ensure its suitability.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. 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. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right pressure. Too much pressure on your driveway will cause it to become loose or uneven. You should jet wash your block pavement carefully at a 45° angle. This will lower the pressure and reduce the impact on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
