PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

This is a permeable paver solution that can be used in Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS). It allows water quickly to drain into the subbase, then slowly into soil. This helps reduce the potential for flooding and the risk of runoff.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t require planning permission.

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

The blocks have an edge nib that allows for surface stability. But it also creates voids where surface water can easily run through to a special sub-base.

We work in Balk Field 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. 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, a permeable fabric laid to seperate sub-base from ground, allows surface water to filter through and not lose sub-base to ground. It can also act as a weed barrier which can increase surface’s load bearing capacity and lifespan.

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. All work is 100% guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating a driveway or pavement. The bricks or blocks that are used for this kind of paving are made out of clay or concrete. Other composite materials may also be used. 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.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic 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 is a great choice for your driveway because of its many benefits. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. Here are some of these benefits for block paving Dartford and elsewhere.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • 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. 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: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any sand. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

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 sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving is a popular choice because of its high level of permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. You can absorb water into your pavers blocks, which are not like 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 is durable if it is well laid. 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. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. It is not recommended that concrete be laid with the intention of putting paving blocks on top. 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 become problematic due to the freeze-thaw cycle. This could mean that you will need to rebuild the 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 paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

You can either leave the block paving alone or paint it to match your property’s exterior. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. Any masonry paint is safe to use and can be applied using a roller.

Block paving is not fine for 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. 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 can jet wash block paving by carefully working at a 45-degree angle. This will reduce the pressure on the sand. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

Even though not everyone has the means to use a pressure washer they can still maintain a clean driveway. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
