Block Paving Skegness

Block Paving Skegness Lincolnshire (PE24): When looking at hard landscaping features for your home in Skegness, block paving is particularly popular for building pathways, drives and patios. In both residential and commercial situations, establishing a durable and hard wearing parking spot for cars is the main use of block pavers.

For any Skegness property, off-road parking is a highly appealing feature which will increase the market value of your house, as long as it's installed correctly. Money invested in properly laid block paving now will pay dividends in the long run should you ever decide to sell your house.

When designing and planning your new block paving dive in Skegness it is important to think carefully when you're considering how large you should build it. You will want to be able to safely park and move your car, and it is best to plan your new drive around these specifications, although the size of the garden area that you've got to build on may well determine this. If it is possible to build a drive that can accommodate more than just one car, that's also a great idea. This will provide the extra space needed when visitors or tradesmen call, and for further cars that could be purchased by your household in the future.

When attempting to find a specialist contractor to install your new block paved area in Skegness, always get a minimum of 3 quotes from different companies. If any family or friends have had a block paving dive put in recently, you could try asking them if there's anybody they are willing to recommend.

A trusted company should provide a free and detailed quote for the whole project. It's not worth taking the risk of hiring contractors who just turn up at your front door with remarks like "we are working locally on another project, do you need..?" They could obviously be genuine (very unlikely), and there are any number of scary stories of householders being ashamed and out of pocket when a drive isn't completed, or receiving poor quality work carried out.

Provisioned for any quote would be items like:

• Preparation of the area to be paved
• Installation of sub-base
• Drainage and water run-off allowances
• Colour, style and quantity of block pavers
• Disposal of waste
• Other factors to consider

If you've already got a drive, the associated construction materials and waste products will have to be lifted, removed and disposed of in a responsible way. To ensure your new block paved driveway upholds regulations relating to your property's damp proof course, further excavations might also be necessary. The guidelines demand that new driveway installations two brick courses or 150mm below the existing damp proof course of your house.

If your new block pave driveway in Skegness is being laid on top of bare earth or grass, approximately 9 inches (230mm) of soil will have to be dug out and removed. This ensures that before any block pavers are laid, a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer can be established.

A layer of Type 1 crushed gravel and stones, topped with sharp sand, will be used to create the sub-base. A sound sub-base ensures that your new drive doesn't shift or develop low lying spots where puddles can form. The Type 1 is a crushed aggregate mixture, typically composed of granite or limestone which is compacted to create a durable, solid and strong surface for your footpath, driveway or terrace in Skegness.

During this phase of the installation any issues with drainage will be addressed. A fall or incline, will be developed, if one isn't already inherent in the natural lay of the land, to let water to drain away easily. Either purpose built drainage channels can be inserted between your dwelling and the drive for channelling this water away, or it can just be redirected away from the house by the incline.

Sharp sand is shovelled onto the compacted sub-base aggregate and levelled off to form a base for the paving blocks to be laid into.

Every driveway in Skegness with a surface area of more than five square metres, must include the provision for excess water to run off to a permeable area close by. If this can't be adhered to you'll need to apply for planning permission from the local council for the installation. So as to prevent local flooding, any water run-off from your drive cannot be diverted into the drainage system.

Any reputable block paving specialist in Skegness will figure out your drainage needs and take the necessary action to ensure that your new driveway conforms to the legislation, as an integral part of the installation process. So as to accomplish this they might need to excavate a dedicated soakaway, add integrated drainage channels/grates or install a permeable driveway .

Properties that are in the legally defined limits of a conservation area will require further consideration regarding drainage and design factors. A trustworthy block paving installation company will have the experience and knowhow to steer you through this process.

Block pavers come in many different shapes, sizes and colours to suit any design and pattern of driveway you need. From simple straight edged, oblong or square pavers, to curved, diamond, s-shape and circular, there'll be a style for you. Block pavers can be colour matched to suit the brickwork of your property, or be contrasting to create an eye-catching feature.

Older houses in Skegness may be better suited to the traditional style block pavers, often referred to as tumbled pavers, which produce a more sympathetic and seamless result. These pavers have been pre-faded to give the appearance of being old and time-worn. You can also obtain contemporary pavers if you would like to concoct a more modern feel, and these can even have a high-gloss finish by applying a suitable sealant.

The layout of your new block paving drive in Skegness could be a basic square or rectangular shape, or perhaps you've got landscaping features which it must weave around. The laying of block paving can be carried out in several patterns to achieve different effects; Herringbone, Stretcher Bond and Basketweave are three common design patterns. A skilled block paving company in Skegness will be able to provide a quality drive that looks wonderful, whichever pattern you choose.

You should also think about installing some block paving edging. Your preferred installer will be happy to talk about the pros and cons of raised kerb stones, different colours or shapes, or if your new drive even needs an edging (as when butting up against walls).

Fees for the removal of waste materials and the correct manner of its disposal should all be included in a block paving installation quote. The amount of existing driveway materials and earth that will need to be carted away will be determined by the scale of your new drive. If it cannot be used in other sections of your garden, any excess earth will have to be moved by by truck, trailer or in a skip. Any excavated soil and other materials should be disposed of at a registered site, in a sound and eco-friendly fashion.

You might be advised to apply a seal to the block paving after installation, although this isn't absolutely essential for your new driveway in Skegness. Sealing can prolong the life of your block paved drive, it also enhances the colour, shields it from staining, reduces the growth of weeds and stops fading. The application of an appropriate paving seal is a great way to protect the considerable investment that you've made in your driveway.

Block paved driveways should never be treated straight after installation, since it is vital for the jointing and sand to settle properly for a period of time. It is highly advised to use a professional for the application of sealer, since errors are hard to rectify, and it is also suggested that you wait no less than 6 months before doing it.

Aside from gaining a useful facility, and increasing the value of your building, you can truly transform the look of your home with a new block paved patio or drive. It can provide a hard wearing and stable area for securely parking your vehicles, or create a fantastic area to enjoy a durable BBQ and seating area in your garden.
