PERMEABLE BLOCKING & SUDS

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

This permeable paving solution is for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) schemes. It allows water to drain quickly into the subbase and then slowly into ground. This reduces the risk of flooding local areas.

This block paving type does not require planning permission.

These blocks are also available in Drivesett Argent & Tegula and 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 Woodhouse 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 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 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. We stand behind all of our work.

Q and A's

Block paving, also known as brick pavers, is a common decorative method for creating 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 to make pavement. There are many patterns you can use, including the popular herringbone. This is because it creates the strongest bonds between blocks thanks to their interlocking.

Since the 1980s block paving has been popular among UK homeowners. Block paving is easy to lay and provides stunning aesthetic 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.

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 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. You won’t be able to achieve a perfect driveway if you do not hire a company to help you.

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 is an investment in your property. It will cost you a lot depending on many factors. Block paving materials, professional installation, groundwork, and other factors will all impact the cost of your new driveway. Price will vary depending on where you live.

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

  • Materials: There are many options for paving blocks and paving materials. Each type comes at a different cost.
  • 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. 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.
  • Excavating and waste disposal: Additional activities, such as digging your old driveway or disposing waste materials, will be added to 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. The sand locks each brick in its place and creates a stable, secure structure throughout the entire driveway.

Kiln dried Sand is completely dry and without moisture. The extra fine texture makes it great for packing blocks of block paving blocks. This sand is extra dry, so it won’t clump together while being laid. This helps reduce the possibility of movement 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 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 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. Both rock salt and white vinegar are effective natural weed killers. They also help prevent weeds growing from the beginning. Any commercial weed-killing products can be used once you have detected any growth. Some of these products also contain a preventative component to help with future growth.

Concrete can be used to lay block paving, but this is very dependent on the concrete’s condition. Concrete laid to simply put paving stones on top of it is not recommended. 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. It is important to have the driveway block paved on top of concrete.

Your driveway installation should not be affected by the weather. Block pavers can be laid so long as the sub base is dry enough to allow for a stable and fully-set surface. To avoid delays due to weather, many people wait until the summer and spring dry out.

It can be used as-is or painted to complement 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.

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 – 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. Make sure you clean all dirt and grime off your paving once it is dry.

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. After that, apply the cleaning solution to your driveway and scrub it until you are satisfied. Once you are satisfied that your driveway is clean, rinse it with water and allow it to dry.
