PREPARING THE GROUNDWORK

Block Pavers Wells-next-the-Sea UK (01328)

If your new block pave driveway is is going to replace an existing drive, it's going to be necessary to first lift, remove and dispose of the old materials. More excavations could be necessary to make certain that your new block paved driveway adheres to regulations concerning your property's DPC (damp proof course). The guidelines require that new driveways are installed at least 2 brick courses below the current damp proof course of your building.

Roughly 230mm (9 inches) of soil must be dug out and disposed of if your new block paving driveway in Wells-next-the-Sea is being installed over grass or bare earth. This enables a good sub-base and sharp sand to be laid before any actual block pavers are installed.

INSTALLATION OF THE SUB-BASE

A good layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel, topped with sharp sand, will be utilised to form the sub-base. A sound sub-base makes sure that your driveway won't shift or develop low lying spots where puddles can form. Made from limestone or granite which is compacted to form a sturdy, durable and solid surface for your path, driveway or patio in Wells-next-the-Sea, MOT Type 1 is a kind of crushed granular aggregate.

This is the stage where potential drainage issues will be dealt with. To enable the water to flow off easily, a fall or gradient, will be introduced, if not already inherent in the lay of the land. This will be directed either away from your house or into purpose built drainage channels installed between your home and the drive.

Once the sub-base aggregate has been firmly compacted down, sharp sand can be added and levelled off to form a base for laying the paving blocks.

WATER RUN-OFF AND DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS

All driveways in Wells-next-the-Sea of more than 5M² must allow water to run into a suitable permeable area.
