PERMEABLE BLOCK PAVING & SUDS

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

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.

This type of blockpaving doesn’t 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 Dale Moor 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 drains, sewers, and other infrastructures override this natural process, making it impossible for the ground to absorb as much water as possible. The SuDS and Permeable Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

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

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 can also be known as brick-paving. This is a widely used decorative technique to create a driveway, or pavement. This type of paving uses bricks and blocks made from clay, concrete, or other composite materials. 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.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. It’s simple and beautiful, when done correctly. This is why it is so popular. The homeowner can choose from a variety of patterns, brick sizes, and block arrangements.

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.

Block paving driveways are usually installed by driveway experts who have many years’ experience. They are experts in how to interlock and lay blocks in driveways. A driveway company will guarantee a flawless driveway, so you don’t have to try to do it yourself.

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. 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: You have many choices when it comes to paving and blocks, and each type and brand has a different price.
  • 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. As part of the driveway cost, your paving contractor will need to include the cost of digging and installing the base.
  • Labour costs: Block paving costs will be charged at a cost per m2.
  • 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 most commonly laid using 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 is extremely dry and won’t form clumps when laid. This reduces the chance of your drive moving.

Block paving’s permeability is why it is so popular. Block paving is porous and an environmentally friendly choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks 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. While there will always be maintenance issues, block pavers can be removed or replaced in an area that is damaged. 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 should not be considered a permanent investment. They will provide a stylish drive that will last for many years.

Block paving has a lower incidence of weeds than gravel driveways. However they can grow between the paving blocks. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. After you have identified some growth, you can use any commercial product to kill it. However, some products are also formulated for future growth.

Although block paving is possible on concrete, the concrete’s state will determine how it looks. 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 be affected by the freeze/thaw cycle. You may need to replace the entire driveway. Professionals can assess the suitability of a concrete block paving driveway.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. 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.

Yes! To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. 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.

Block paving is not fine for a sloped driveway. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Block paving can be jet washed. – But you should be careful and not use too much pressure. If you pressure wash your driveway with too strong a force, it can cause cracks in the sand and result in uneven or loosed blocks. 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.

You may not have access to a pressure washer but it is possible to keep your drive shining and clean. 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 are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
