PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

This permeable pavement solution can be used in Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS). It allows water, which is slow to drain, to quickly drain into sub-base.

Block paving like this does not require planning permission.

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 North Wheatley plus these local areas and more:

This system allows for a slow release into the environment of surface water through a process called attenuation. Modern sewers and drains bypass this natural process, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the 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 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. 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. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. 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. Block paving driveways are easy to set up and provide beautiful 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. 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. Here are some of these benefits for block paving Dartford and elsewhere.

  • You can easily replace individual bricks or blocks, without needing to make costly repairs
  • There is a large selection of colors and shapes you can choose from
  • Property value increases
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block Paving is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • 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. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to your quote

Block paved driveways are not made from any ordinary sand. 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 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 minimizes movement risk in your drive.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. It will absorb water into your paving blocks, which is a big advantage over concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for a lifetime. Block paving will need to be maintained over time. But you can easily remove damaged blocks or areas rather than replacing the entire driveway. It is possible to lift the bricks of block-paving bricks individually if they become cracked or broken, but this should not happen often. 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 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.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. 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 negatively affected by the freeze-thaw cycle and you might need to reroute the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

As long as the conditions are dry, weather and season will not affect your driveway installation. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. For the best weather conditions, people wait until the spring and summer to start laying block pavement.

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. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

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.

Jet washing block paving is possible – You can jet wash block paving, but it must be done with care and at a 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. Jet washing block paving is a delicate process that requires you to work at a 45 degree angle to reduce the pressure. While you may see some sand moving, it is not necessary. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can remove any dirt and grime using a stiff brush. Then, use the chosen cleaning product to scrub your driveway. After you are certain it is clean, rinse it off with fresh water and let it dry.
