Block Paving Holmes Chapel Cheshire (CW4)

When designing and planning your new block paved driveway in Holmes Chapel it is vital to think ahead when you are considering just how big it should be. You will need to be able to manoeuvre and easily park your vehicle, and it is better to organise your new drive around these requirements, although the size of the garden area that you've got to build it on will have an influence on this. It is also a wise idea, when possible, to think of installing a drive that can accommodate at least one more vehicle than your own. This will provide the extra space required when people visit your house, and for additional cars that could be owned by your family members later on.

When searching for a qualified contractor to lay your new block paving in Holmes Chapel, always get a minimum of three price quotes from different companies. If any of your friends or family have had a block pave driveway installed recently, you could try asking them if there's anybody they're willing to recommend.

A decent company should provide a free and comprehensive quote for the whole project. Try to steer clear of chancers who say they "just happen to be in the area on another project." There are far too many horrific stories of homeowners having substandard work, or being ashamed and out of pocket when a driveway is not successfully completed, by these types of scoundrels.

Things that you can anticipate seeing itemised on any acceptable quotation could be:

  • Preparation (excavation) of the area
  • Installation of sub-base
  • Water run-off and drainage specifications
  • Quantity, style and colour of block pavers
  • Waste disposal
  • Other considerations

GROUNDWORK PREPARATION

Block Pavers Holmes Chapel UK (01477)

If you have a pre-existing drive, this material will need to be removed and disposed of in the proper manner. More extensive excavations will often be needed to make sure that your new block pave driveway concurs with regulations pertaining to the DPC (damp proof course) of your property. Two courses of bricks below your property's existing DPC, is the regulation for new driveways in Holmes Chapel.

About 9 inches (230mm) of soil will need to be excavated and removed if your block pave drive in Holmes Chapel is being installed over bare earth or grass. This is going to allow for the creation of a proper sub-base and sharp sand stratum, before the block paving is laid.

SUB-BASE INSTALLATION

The sub-base is made up of a sharp sand covered layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel. A solid sub-base ensures your drive won't shift or develop dips and low lying spots where puddles can form. Compacted to form a solid, sturdy and durable surface for your drive, terrace or path in Holmes Chapel, Type 1 is a crushed granular aggregate, usually comprising limestone or granite.

During this phase of the installation process any issues with drainage will be taken care of. An incline or fall, will be introduced, if not already inherent in the lay of the land, to encourage water to drain away easily. You can either redirect this water away from your dwelling, or steer it into purpose built drainage grates that are installed in between your house and the drive.

Sharp sand is added above the firmly compacted sub-base Type 1 aggregate and levelled off to form a base for the paving blocks to be set into.

WATER RUN-OFF AND DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS

Excess surface water must be drained off to a permeable area on any driveway over 5 sq metres in Holmes Chapel. If this cannot be observed you'll need to apply for planning permission from the local authorities to install your drive. You aren't allowed to redirect water run-off from a driveway into the main drainage system, since it can add to the risk of flooding the local area.

COLOUR, STYLE AND AMOUNT OF PAVERS

THE DISPOSAL OF WASTE

Needless to say, the volume of earth and waste materials that will need to be carted away will depend on the size of your new drive and whether a pre-existing driveway is involved. Unless you can use the extracted soil in other parts of your garden, it must be moved by by truck or trailer. The majority of of the excavated earth and other materials can be recycled, so they must be taken to a registered disposal site.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

If you wish to secure the investment of time and money that you've made in your new block paved drive, coating it with a decent sealer it is the ideal way to accomplish it.
