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 is not required to be approved for planning.

These blocks can be found in almost all of the non-permeable equivalent products – Drivesett Argent & Tegula, as well as 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 Hallam Fields plus these local areas and more:

This system allows the slow release of surface water back into its environment via a process known to be 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 Paving balances this situation and allows the ground, much like a massive soakaway, to naturally absorb, store, and slowly release the collected water.

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.

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. Bricks and blocks used in this type of paving can be made from clay or concrete. Sometimes, other composite materials are also 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 is simple to install and will produce stunning results. The homeowner is responsible for choosing the type of bricks and the arrangement of the blocks.

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 are the main factors that influence the price of block paving driveways:

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • The foundation or groundwork is required for block paving driveways. A sub-base is usually made of crushed rock and similar materials. In your driveway costs, your paving contractor should consider the cost to excavate and install the base.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate 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.

The sand that is used to build a block paved driveway cannot be just any 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 sand has no moisture and is totally dry. It also has a fine texture that makes it perfect for packing block paving blocks. This sand’s extra dryness ensures that it does not clump together after being laid. This helps to reduce movement risk.

Block Paving is highly porous and popular for its flexibility. It is highly porous and an excellent choice for driveways. Water will not be absorbed into the paving blocks unlike concrete. This eliminates the danger of slipping on the surface.

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. 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. White vinegar and rock salt can be used as natural weed killers. Commercial weed-killing products may also be used after you have noticed any growth. Some products are also designed for prevention.

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. Relaying a damaged block or making any concrete changes will affect the quality of your driveway. 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.

No season or weather should affect driveway installation as long as it is dry. Block paving can also be laid as long the sub-base remains dry. This will ensure that the surface is stable and set properly. 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. For the best look, sealants are recommended to preserve the blocks’ natural beauty. 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.

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? – But you should be careful and not use too much 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. To jet wash your block pavers, be careful and do it at a 45° angle. This reduces the pressure on your sand. Some sand will shift, but it should be minimal. After your paving has dried, make sure that all dirt, grime and other debris is removed.

While not everyone has access the pressure washer, you can still keep your drive sparkling and clean. You can lift dirt and grime with a simple brush or broom. 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.
