Overview

Block Paving across Surrey & London

Block paving gives a strong, decorative finish with the practical advantage that individual blocks can be lifted and re-laid if you ever need access underneath or a repair. We lay block paved driveways and hardstanding across Surrey & London on a compacted base with the pattern, colour and edging detailing you want.

A firm sub-base and solid edge restraints are what stop blocks spreading and rutting over time, so we never skimp on the groundwork. Well-compacted joints and a quality jointing sand keep weeds down, and because blocks lift out cleanly, repairs and alterations are straightforward compared with a solid surface.

What’s included

  • Excavation and a compacted sub-base
  • Laying course and blocks in your chosen pattern
  • Cut edges, borders and edge restraints
  • Jointing sand and a compacted, finished surface

FAQs

Block Paving FAQs

Does block paving get weeds in the joints?

Well-compacted joints and a quality jointing sand keep weeds down. Permeable options and occasional maintenance help further.

Can you repair a sunken area of existing paving?

Yes. Because blocks lift out, we can take up a sunken section, correct the base and re-lay the same blocks.

What patterns and colours can I choose?

A wide range of block types, colours and laying patterns — herringbone, stretcher bond and more — with contrasting borders and edging to suit the property.

Do I need planning permission for block paving?

Usually not, provided surface water drains to a permeable area or soakaway rather than the road. We design the drainage to keep the job within permitted development where possible.

How long does block paving last?

Decades, when it is laid on a firm base with proper edge restraints. And because blocks lift out, any future repair or service access is straightforward.
