Block Paving Chafford Hundred

Block Paving Chafford Hundred Essex (RM16): A stylish way to build a drive, pathway or patio area to your garden in Chafford Hundred, is by using block paving. Of all its various uses, block paving is mainly used to produce durable and long lasting parking spaces for cars and vehicles in settings of both a commercial and domestic nature.

For any Chafford Hundred property, off-road parking is a highly desirable feature which will increase the value of your home, so long as it is installed by a professional. An investment in decent block paving now will yield a return in the long term should you ever decide to sell your house.

You will need to think carefully about the size of your block pave drive in Chafford Hundred during the design phase of the process, to make certain that it's big enough for your needs. You will want to be able to move and easily park your vehicle, and it is better to organise your drive around these specifications, even though the size of the garden area you've got to build on will have an impact on this. If it is possible to install a driveway that has enough room for more than just one car, that is also a good idea. This permits visitors to park their own vehicles or maybe an older child's vehicle when they get through their driving test.

When on the lookout for a reliable contractor to install your new block paving in Chafford Hundred, always get no less than 3 detailed estimates from different paving companies. Where possible, you can ask friends or relatives who have had a block paved drive installed, for their advice and recommendations.

Any Chafford Hundred block paving company worth their salt will be willing to provide you with a completely free and comprehensive quote for the proposed project. Try and avoid contractors who state they "just happen to be working locally on another project." They might obviously be legitimate (very unlikely), and there are any number of scary stories of homeowners being embarrassed and out of pocket when the promised drive is not successfully completed, or receiving second-rate work carried out.

Factored into any decent quote would be items like:

• Preparing the groundwork (excavations)
• Sub-base installation
• Drainage and water run-off prerequisites
• Design, colour and quantity of block pavers
• Disposal of waste
• Other issues to consider

If you already have a drive on your property in Chafford Hundred, the related materials and waste products will need to be lifted, removed and disposed of in a responsible way. Additional excavations might be needed to make certain your new block pave driveway obeys regulations with respect to your property's damp proof course (DPC). Two courses of bricks below your property's existing DPC, is the regulation for new driveways in Chafford Hundred.

If your new block paved driveway in Chafford Hundred is being laid on top of grass or bare earth, about 230mm (9") of soil will have to be excavated and removed. This means that before the block pavers are laid, a decent sub-base and sharp sand stratum can be created.

A good layer of MOT Type 1 crushed gravel and stones, topped with sharp sand, is used to form the sub-base. To ensure the driveway doesn't move or develop dips where water can pool, a solid sub-base is crucial. Typically comprising limestone or granite which is compacted to form a firm, durable and sturdy surface for your path, driveway or terrace in Chafford Hundred, Type 1 is a kind of crushed aggregate.

Any drainage issues will be taken care of during this stage of the installation process. If not already present in the lay of the land, an incline or fall will be introduced, to enable excess water to flow away. This will be directed either away from your house or into drainage grates inserted between your driveway and your home.

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

Surface water has to be drained off to a suitable permeable area on any driveway over 5m2 in Chafford Hundred. If this can't be adhered to you'll need to get planning permission from the local authorities for the driveway installation. So as to prevent local flooding, any water run-off from your driveway cannot be diverted into the drainage system.

Included in the driveway installation process, a competent block paving specialist in Chafford Hundred will check your requirements for drainage and take the necessary action to make certain your new drive adheres to the regulations. In order to accomplish this they may have to install a permeable driveway, excavate a soakaway area or add integrated drainage channels .

If your home is inside the legally defined limits of a conservation area, further design and drainage elements will probably have to be looked at. A professional block paving installation company will have the knowhow and experience to be able to steer you through this process.

To suit any design of driveway you have in mind, block paving comes in a number of different colours, shapes and sizes. From the commonplace and ubiquitous, straight sided, rectangular or square paving blocks, to the more decorative, circular, diamond, s-shape and curved designs, there'll be a style that meets your needs. You could match up your paving colours with the brickwork of your property, or create a striking feature with a completely different colour.

Traditional style block pavers, often known as tumbled or tumble pavers, are readily available for older properties in Chafford Hundred, to create a seamless and sympathetic entrance to your home. Pre-faded during manufacture and having a reclaimed and time-worn appearance, tumbled pavers give a sense that they have been in that setting for many years. There is also contemporary block paving for a more modern feel, which when suitably sealed, provide a high-gloss finish.

Your new drive in Chafford Hundred could be designed as a simple square or oblong shape, or it could weave around other landscaping features of your garden. Block paving can be carried out in many patterns for various effects; Herringbone, Stretcher Bond and Basketweave are the 3 most common design patterns. Whatever pattern and design you choose, an experienced block paving installer in Chafford Hundred will build you a magnificent looking driveway that will be the talk of the street.

Installing an edging to your block paved drive should also be considered. You can have a chat with your chosen installer about the benefits of raised kerb stones, different shapes or colours, or if your driveway is bounded by walls, whether it actually needs edging at all.

Charges for the removal of waste and soil and its proper disposal should all be contained in a block paving installation quote. Clearly, the amount of waste materials and earth that must be disposed of will be dependent on the scale of your new drive and whether or not an existing driveway is involved. Any excess earth must be carried away by truck if it can't be utilised on other areas of your garden. Any excavated soil and old driveway materials should be removed to a registered site, in a sound and environmentally friendly fashion.

You might be urged to put a coat of sealant on the block paving after it's been installed, although this is not essential for your new drive in Chafford Hundred. Sealing can help to extend the life of your block paving driveway, it also protects it from staining, stops fading, enhances the colour and inhibits the growth of algae. If you wish to protect the investment of money and time you've made in your new block paving drive, coating it with a decent sealer it is a great way to accomplish it.

As the joints and sand need to settle properly for some time, sealants should not be applied to a freshly installed drive. It is recommended to wait no less than six months before coating a new driveway with sealant, and it is advisable to use a specialist for the application because errors are hard to resolve.
