PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

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

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 also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula along with Driveline.

The blocks are interlocked by a nib at the edges. This creates surface stability, but also creates voids that surface water can easily flow through to a sub-base.

We work in Upper Morton 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, which means that the ground is unable to absorb much of the water. 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 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. We stand behind all of our work.

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. 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.

Block Paving Driveways have been the preferred choice of many homeowners throughout the UK since its inception in 1980. It is simple to install and will produce stunning results. 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 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. These are some of the many benefits that block paving can bring to Dartford or elsewhere:

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • Individual bricks and blocks are easily replaced without the need for 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 are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. They will know how to interlock blocks and lay them correctly. 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. The project’s length will depend on the area to which it needs to be paved. However, it is significantly faster than other driveway-surfacing options.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several factors. Block paving materials, professional installations, and the required groundwork will all affect the price of your new driveway. The cost of your driveway will also vary depending on the region.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour Costs: Prices per m2 will apply to the labour costs associated with laying block paving.
  • 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 is completely dried, without any 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 a popular choice because of its high level of 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 possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

If it is properly laid, block paving can last for 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 are a great investment that will last a lifetime.

Block paving is more resistant to weeds than gravel driveways. However, they can still sprout up between the blocks. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. 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. 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 may be negatively affected by freeze-thaw cycles. In this case, you may have to repave the entire driveway. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

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. People wait until the warmer spring and summer months in order to avoid having to delay the project due to bad weather.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement your property’s exterior. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. It is crucial that the blocks are dry completely before you apply any paint. You can use any masonry painting and apply it using a rolling pin, just as with exterior brickwork.

Block paving is not fine for 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 – However, you must ensure that it is done properly and with the right 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. Once your paving is dry, remove all dirt and grime.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. Any dirt or grime can be lifted with a stiff brush or broom. 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.
