Block Pavers Chapel-En-le-Frith UK (01298)

If you have a pre-existing driveway, these materials will need to be removed and disposed of in the proper manner. To ensure that your new block paving driveway obeys building regulations in relation to the damp proof course (DPC) of your home, additional excavations might also be needed. Two courses of bricks or 150mm below your current DPC, is the guideline for new driveway installations in Chapel-En-le-Frith.

Chapel-En-le-Frith block paved driveways that are being installed onto grass or bare earth, will need about 9" (230mm) of soil to be excavated and removed from the site. This allows for a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer to be established before any block paving is installed.

SUB-BASE INSTALLATION

A layer of Type 1 crushed material, covered with sharp sand, will be used to create the sub-base. A solid sub-base makes sure that your new drive does not shift or develop low lying spots where puddles can form. The MOT Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, generally composed of limestone or granite which is compacted to create a firm, durable and strong surface for your terrace, driveway or path in Chapel-En-le-Frith.
