PERMEABLE BLOCKING & 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 available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Little Gringley 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 pavers balance this process, allowing the ground’s natural ability to absorb, store and release the collected water in a controlled fashion – much like a large soakaway.

Geotextile is permeable fabric used to seperate ground and sub-base. The surface water can filter through without loss of subbase.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is completely guaranteed.

Q and A's

Block paving (also known as brick paving) is a popular decorative method 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. 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. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful aesthetic results. The homeowner is responsible for choosing the type of bricks and the arrangement of the blocks.

Block paving can be a good choice for your driveway solution due to the many benefits it provides. It is typically more expensive than other driveway options, but can provide greater benefits and lasts longer if properly maintained. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • You can easily replace individual bricks or blocks, without needing to make costly repairs
  • You can choose from a wide variety of colors and shapes
  • Property value increases
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. These specialists are skilled in interlocking and laying blocks. It is better to hire a professional to lay your driveway than to attempt it yourself. You can also let them know what design you want and they will help you select the right colour to match your property. While the overall length of the project depends on the area that must be paved it is generally shorter than other driveway surfacing options.

Block pavers are an investment in your property. Prices will depend on several factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

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.
  • 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. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation/waste disposal: Additional activities such digging out your driveway and disposing your waste materials will also be included in your quotation

You can’t use just any type of sand to make 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 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 to reduce movement risk.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. Block paving is a porous material that is durable and can be used for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike 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 laid properly, block paving will last 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 should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

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. Once you have spotted any growth, you can use any commercial weed killer product. Some of these products are also designed to prevent future growth.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. 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 can be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace 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.

Block paving can be left alone, or you can paint it to match the exterior of your home. It is also possible to seal the blocks with stain-resistant coatings or sealants. 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.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to avoid blockpaving on a sloped driveway. If the sub-base is deep enough and solid groundwork is used, a sloped driveway will look stunning with block paver surface.

Block paving can be jet washed. – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. 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. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
