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.

Block paving is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Clarborough 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 or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. 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 will enhance any garden, commercial or private. It will provide a safe and well-lit walkway for employees, visitors or family. Our work is completely 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. 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. 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.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. It’s simple and beautiful, when done correctly. The homeowner is responsible for choosing the type of bricks and the arrangement of the blocks.

Because of its wide variety of benefits, block paving is the best choice for driveway solutions. 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 benefits of block paving Dartford, or anywhere else.

Block paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost 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: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • 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 cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often 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 doesn’t stick together during construction due to its extra dry nature. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

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.

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 more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the 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.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. 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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. 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. Block paving can also be preserved with sealants or stain-resistant cover to keep its natural look. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. 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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

Although not everyone can afford a pressure washer you can keep your driveway looking great, clean, and bright. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
