PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

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

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.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as 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 Morton 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 or drains can bypass this natural process and deny the ground the ability to absorb much of it. The balance is redressed by SuDS and permeable paving. This allows the ground to absorb, store, and slowly release the water in a controlled way – similar to a large soakaway.

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. Our work is guaranteed 100%.

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 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 a popular choice for homeowners in the UK since the 1980s. It’s simple and beautiful, when done correctly. 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 is more expensive than other driveway surfacing options but it will last for longer and offer more benefits if it is maintained well. Here are some of these benefits for block paving Dartford and elsewhere.

 

  • Enhances the property’s overall appearance
  • There are no costly repairs required as individual bricks can be easily replaced.
  • A large range of colors, shapes and sizes to choose from
  • Property value increases
  • Due to the interlocking of the blocks, driveways are stronger than others

Block paving driveways can be installed by driveway professionals who have 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. 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 paving can be a great investment in your property. The price will vary depending on many factors. The cost of your driveway will depend on the materials used, the professional installation and the groundwork. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

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

  • 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. The cost of excavating the base and installing it should be included in your driveway price.
  • 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.

You can’t use just any type of sand to make a block-paved driveway. Block-paved driveways are usually laid with kiln dried, sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

Kiln dried, sand is completely dried, without any 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 porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Your paving blocks will absorb water, unlike concrete. This prevents slippage and minimises damage from water if drainage is poor and water remains in the paving blocks.

Block paving is durable if it is well laid. 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. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways will not last forever and should only be purchased once.

Block paving is less likely to be contaminated than gravel driveways. However, weeds can still grow between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. Any commercial weed-killing products can be used once you have detected any growth. Some of these products also contain a preventative component to help with future growth.

It is possible to put block paving on concrete. However, it will depend on how the concrete is. 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 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 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. 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.

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.

Can block paving be jet washed? – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with 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. There will be some sand movement, but this should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

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. Apply your chosen cleaning agent and scrub the driveway to get rid of any stains. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
