PERMEABLE BOLOCK PAVING & SUPS

The range of “Permeable Block Paving” is even better for patio or driveway 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.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula products as well 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 Newlands 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, denying ground the chance to absorb large amounts of 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 is a permeable fabric that is laid to separate the sub-base and ground. It allows water to pass through the surface without causing any loss to the ground.

Block Paving can improve any residential or commercial garden. Our work is completely guaranteed.

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 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. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic results. This is why it is so popular. The homeowner can choose from a variety of patterns, brick sizes, and block arrangements.

Because of its wide variety of benefits, block paving is the best choice for driveway solutions. While it may be more costly than other driveway surfacing options it can last longer and provide better benefits if taken care of. Block paving is a great choice for Dartford and other areas.

 

  • Enhances your property’s appearance
  • 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
  • Increases your property’s market value
  • Interlocking between the blocks makes driveway surfaces stronger than any other.

Block paving driveways should be installed by professionals with many years of experience. These professionals are trained to install blocks correctly and interlock them in the right way. A driveway company will guarantee a flawless driveway, so you don’t have to try to do it yourself. They can help you pick the right colour for your property by letting you know the design and pattern that you prefer. It will vary depending on the size of your driveway, but the process is generally faster than other driveway surface options.

Block paving is a good investment for your home. However, the cost will vary depending on several factors. Your new driveway’s cost will be affected by the quality of your block paving materials and professional installation. Prices will vary from one region to the next.

The following factors are major determinants of the cost of block-paving driveways:

  • Materials: Each brand and type of paving has a unique price point.
  • Sub-base or groundwork for block paving driveways. These sub-bases are usually made of crushed stone and similar materials. They are compacted to form a stable base. When estimating the cost of your driveway, your contractor should include the cost for excavating and installing it.
  • Labour cost: Your block paving project will cost you the current rate per m2.
  • Excavation, waste disposal: Additional activities such as excavating your driveway and disposing off waste materials are also included in your quote

It is not enough to use just any any sand for laying a block-paved driveway. Block Pavement driveways are laid most often with kiln-dried sand. Each block is locked in place by the sand and provides stability for the entire drive.

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 helps reduce the possibility of movement in your drive.

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 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. Although there will be some maintenance, block paving can be easily removed from damaged areas or blocks, rather than having to replace entire driveways. Although block paving bricks are easily lifted if damaged or cracked, regular maintenance will ensure that this is a rare occurrence. Block paving driveways can be expensive and will give you a beautiful drive with a long life span.

Block paving tends to have fewer weeds that gravel driveways. However if there are a few, they can be caught between the paving blocks. Rock salt and white vinegar both work well to kill weeds. 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 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. Make sure the concrete driveway is properly evaluated before you consider a block-paving driveway.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. 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. To preserve the natural appearance of the blocks, sealants and stain-resistant covers are popular. Make sure that your blocks are completely dry before applying paint. As with exterior brickwork, you can apply any masonry paint to the blocks with a roller.

A sloped driveway doesn’t mean that you should avoid block paving. If it is correctly installed and has a deep enough subbase, a sloped driveway could look amazing with block paving.

Jet washing block paving is possible – It can be, but only if it’s done correctly and with low 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. Although you will notice some sand shifting, this should not be too much. 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. A stiff brush and broom are good options to remove dirt or loose grime. To remove any dirt or stains, you can use your preferred cleaning product and scrub the driveway. Once you’re satisfied with the cleanliness of your driveway, use fresh water to clean it and then dry it.
