PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

For a driveway or patio, there is now a wider selection of ‘Permeable Block Paving.

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.

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 West Drayton plus these local areas and more:

This system allows slow releases of water into the environment through 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 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 can improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is guaranteed 100%.

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. These bricks or blocks are made of 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. 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. 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:

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several 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.

Block paving driveways are cost-sensitive.

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • The base or groundwork: Block paver driveways require a subbase. This is usually made from crushed stone and other similar materials. Once the base has been compacted, it can be used to build a stable foundation. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • Excavation, waste disposal: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in 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 secured by the sand next to its neighbor, creating a stable and secure structure 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 helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

Block paving is very popular due to its high permeability. 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 eliminates the possibility of slippage on the surface and can also prevent water from pooling if drainage is poor.

If laid properly, block paving will last 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. 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 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. 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.

Block paving can be laid on concrete, but it is dependent on its condition. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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 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.

You driveway installation shouldn’t be affected by weather conditions. Block paving can still be laid provided the sub-base is kept dry to ensure a stable surface. Most people wait until the cooler spring and summer months before laying block paving to avoid being delayed by the 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. It is essential that all blocks are completely dried and free from dirt or grime before applying any paint. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

You are able to use block paving if you have 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.

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 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. 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. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you’re confident that it’s clean and dry, rinse it off with warm water.
