Block Paving Long Eaton

Block Paving Long Eaton Derbyshire (NG10): A stylish way to add a patio, path or driveway to your garden or property in Long Eaton, is through the use of block pavers. In both residential and commercial settings, establishing a durable and long-lasting parking area for vehicles is the primary use of block paving.

For any property in Long Eaton, off-road parking is a particularly desirable feature which will increase the market value of your house, as long as it's installed properly. Should you ever decide to sell your house, an investment in good quality block paving now, will pay dividends in the long run.

When designing your new block pave driveway in Long Eaton it's essential to think carefully when you're looking at just how large you should build it. You will want to be able to move and safely park your vehicle, and it is best to plan your new drive around these requirements, although the size of the garden area you have to build it on will have an influence on this. It is also a good idea, if possible, to think of installing a driveway that can hold more than just one car. This will provide the extra space required when anyone visits your home, and for further cars that may be purchased by your family members in the future.

Always try to obtain at least 3 fully itemised quotations from different firms, when your are attempting to find a reliable contractor to lay your block paving driveway or patio in Long Eaton. If any friends and family have had a block paving dive installed recently, you could also ask them if there is anybody they can recommend.

A decent company ought to provide a free and in depth quote for the whole project. Any chancers who simply show up at your front door saying they "happen to be working locally on another job", should generally be avoided. They could obviously be genuine (but are unlikely to be), and there are hundreds of horrific stories of folks being ashamed and out of pocket when the promised driveway isn't finished, or receiving shoddy work done.

Things that you should count on seeing specified on any satisfactory quote could be:

• Preparing the groundwork, i.e. excavations
• Installation of sub-base
• Drainage and water run-off prerequisites
• Quantity, design and colour of block pavers
• Waste disposal arrangements
• Other considerations

If you've already got a driveway, the related construction materials and waste will have to be lifted, removed and disposed of in an ethical and responsible way. It could be necessary to perform more excavations to make certain regulations with respect to the damp proof course of your property are upheld. Two courses of bricks or 150mm below your property's current damp proof course, is the regulation for new driveways in Long Eaton.

About 230mm of soil will have to be dug out and disposed of if your new block paving driveway in Long Eaton is being installed over bare earth or grass. This enables a decent sub-base and sharp sand layer to be created before any actual block pavers are installed.

The sub-base is made out of a sharp sand covered layer of MOT Type 1 crushed gravel and stones. A sound sub-base makes sure the drive does not move or develop low lying spots and dips where puddles can form. The Type 1 is a crushed aggregate mixture, usually comprising limestone or granite which is firmly packed down to form a durable, strong and firm surface for your path, terrace or drive in Long Eaton.

This is the stage where any potential issues with drainage will be addressed and sorted. A fall or incline, will be developed, if this isn't already present in the natural lay of the land, to encourage water to run-off easily. You can either redirect this water away from your dwelling, or steer it into purpose built drainage channels inserted between the driveway and your property.

Once the sub-base type 1 aggregate has been firmly compacted down, sharp sand can be added and levelled out to create a base for laying and arranging the blocks.

All driveways in Long Eaton more than 5 sq metres must allow water to run to a suitable permeable area. If your driveway cannot conform to this stipulation, planning permission will be required from your local authority. You're not permitted to redirect water run-off from a drive into the main drainage system, as it can increase the risk of flooding the local area.

Any reliable block paving installation specialist in Long Eaton will ascertain your drainage requirements and take the measures needed to keep your new drive within the law, as an integral part of the driveway installation process. In order to achieve this they might have to excavate a dedicated soak-away area, install a SUDS compliant permeable driveway or add integrated drainage channels .

Homes that are within the defined limits of a conservation area will need additional consideration with regards to drainage and design elements. With their knowhow and experience, a reliable installation contractor will be able to successfully steer you through this process, and bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.

To suit any design and layout of driveway you want, block paving comes in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. From standard straight sided, rectangular or square blocks, to s-shape, curved, diamond and circular, you'll find a style for you. Block pavers can be colour matched to complement your property's brickwork, or be contrasting to create an attractive feature.

To create a more seamless and sympathetic entrance for older properties in Long Eaton, you might favour purchasing the traditional style of block paving, known as tumble or tumbled pavers. These are pre-faded during manufacture and have a character and rustic appearance. For a more modern look, you can also buy contemporary block pavers, which can give you a high-gloss surface finish when correctly sealed.

According to the layout of your garden area, your new block paver driveway in Long Eaton could be designed as a basic oblong or square shape, or weave its way around other landscaping features for a more pleasing effect. The three most commonplace block paver designs are Basketweave, Herringbone and Stretcher Bond, although block paving can be carried out in many patterns to achieve different effects. Whatever the design or pattern, a good block paving installer in Long Eaton will build a quality driveway that looks magnificent.

You should also look at installing some edging. Your chosen block paving installer will be happy to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of raised kerb stones, different shapes or colours, or if your new drive even needs to be edged (as when flanked by walls).

When you get a estimate for the installation of block paving, the fees for the removal of waste and its expedient method of disposal should all be included. The size of your new drive will determine the volume of existing driveway materials and earth that will need to be carted away. If it can't be utilised on other areas of your garden, any excavated topsoil will need to be carted away by truck, trailer or in a skip. The majority of of the soil and other materials can easily be reused, so they must be taken to an official disposal site.

Even though it's not essential for your new drive in Long Eaton, you could well be advised to apply a seal to the block paving after installation. Sealing a block paved drive will help keep your drive from staining, inhibits the growth of algae and weed, prevents fading and lengthens the lifespan of your driveway. The applying of a decent block paving sealer is a great way to protect the significant investment that you have made in your new driveway.

As the sand and joints need to properly settle for a while, sealers should not be applied to a newly installed block paved driveway. It's recommended to wait a minimum of 6 months before applying sealant to a new driveway, and it's advisable to use a professional for the application because mistakes are hard to correct.
