Block Paving Forest Row

Block Paving Forest Row East Sussex (RH18): Block pavers are an appealing way to build a driveway, path or patio around your property in Forest Row. The principal use of block paving in commercial and residential settings is to establish a hard wearing and durable parking spot for cars.

Off-road parking is an extremely appealing feature for any Forest Row property, and a professionally installed block paved driveway will add a bit of extra value to your house. Money invested in decent block paving now will yield a return in the long term should you eventually decide to sell your house.

You must consider the overall dimensions of your block paved driveway in Forest Row during the design phase of the process, to ensure that it is large enough for your needs. It is advisable to design your drive to be able to move around and safely park your vehicle, but naturally you may be limited by the size of the garden area that you have to build it on. If you are able to put in a driveway that can accommodate at least one more vehicle than your own, that is also a great idea. This will give you the additional space required when visitors or tradesmen call, and for further vehicles that might be owned by your family members moving forward.

When seeking out a qualified contractor to lay your new block paved area in Forest Row, always get no less than 3 fully itemised quotes from different paving companies. Where possible ask friends or neighbours who have had a block paved driveway installed, for their recommendations and advice.

A reputable local company should provide a free and in depth quote for completing the project. It's not worth taking the risk of using chancers who just rock up at your door with statements like "we are working in the area on another job, do you need..?" They could of course be genuine (highly unlikely), and there are far too many horror stories of householders being ashamed and out of pocket when the promised driveway isn't finished, or getting second-rate work carried out.

Items that will be factored into any quotation could include:

• Preparation (excavation) of the area
• Installation of sub-base
• Drainage and water run-off prerequisites
• Quantity, style and colour of block pavers
• Disposal of waste materials
• Other issues to consider

If you have an existing drive, these materials will need to be removed and disposed of in the correct manner. Further excavations may be necessary to make sure your new block paved driveway upholds building regulations pertaining to your property's damp proof course. The regulations require that new driveways are laid at least 2 brick courses or 6 inches below the current damp proof course of your house.

If your new block paving driveway in Forest Row is being laid on top of bare earth or grass, around 230mm (9") of soil must be excavated and removed. This allows for a decent sub-base and sharp sand layer to be established before your block paving is installed.

A layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel, topped with sharp sand, is used to form the sub-base. A sound sub-base makes sure that your drive won't move or develop low lying spots and dips where water can pool. Made from granite or limestone which is firmly packed down to create a strong, durable and solid surface for your terrace, path or driveway in Forest Row, MOT Type 1 is a kind of crushed granular aggregate.

During this phase of the installation process any drainage issues will be taken care of. If this is not already inherent in the natural lay of the land, a gradient or fall will be developed, to encourage the water to drain off. You can either redirect this water away from your dwelling, or direct it into drainage grates installed in between the driveway and your house.

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

Any driveway in Forest Row which has an area of over 5 square metres, must have the provision for water to run into a permeable area nearby. If this cannot be adhered to you will need to apply for planning permission from the local council to install your drive. Any surface water run-off from your driveway can't be redirected into the main drainage system due to the risk of local flooding.

To keep your new drive within the legislation, an established Forest Row block paving installation company will analyse your drainage requirements as part of the driveway installation process and take any necessary action. They might have to install a SUDS compliant permeable driveway, excavate a dedicated soak-away area or add integrated drainage grates/channels, in order to achieve this.

Additional drainage and design aspects might need to be considered if your property is inside the defined limits of a conservation area. To get guidance and advice through this process, you should seek the assistance of a reputable installation specialist in Forest Row.

There are a lot of different sizes, shapes and colours of block pavers, and whatever design and layout of drive you need, you should have no problem finding a suitable solution. From the regular and widely available, straight edged, square or rectangular paving blocks, to the more ornate, curved, circular, diamond and s-shape patterns, there'll be a style that matches your needs perfectly. You could match up your drive colours with the brickwork of your property, or create an attractive feature with a totally different colour.

Traditional style pavers, generally known as tumble or tumbled pavers, are available for older properties in Forest Row, to create a seamless and sympathetic entrance to your home. These have been pre-faded during manufacture to give the look of being aged and time-worn. For a more modern feel, you can also buy contemporary pavers, which can be given a high-gloss finish when suitably sealed.

Depending on the structure of your garden, your new block paver drive in Forest Row could be laid out as a straightforward square or oblong shape, or it could weave around other hard landscaping features for a more desirable effect. The 3 most common block paver designs are Herringbone, Basketweave and Stretcher Bond, although the laying of block paving can be done in several patterns to achieve different effects. A reputable block paving installer in Forest Row will provide you with a quality driveway that looks wonderful, whatever pattern and design you prefer.

A block paving edging is also something to contemplate. You can chat with your chosen contractor about the pros and cons of raised kerb stones, different shapes and colours, or when your drive is bounded by walls, whether it needs to be edged at all.

Fees for the removal of waste materials and the expedient method of its disposal should all be listed in a block paving installation quotation. Obviously, the quantity of earth and waste materials that will need to be disposed of will be dependent on the overall size of your new drive and whether or not a pre-existing drive is involved. Any excess earth will need to be ferried away by truck if it cannot be utilised on other areas of your garden. The majority of of the excavated earth and other materials can be recycled, therefore they must be taken to a registered waste disposal site.

Almost all block paving installers in Forest Row will urge you to put a sealing coat your new driveway after it has been installed, although this is not at all essential. Sealing a block paving drive will help keep your drive from staining, lessen the risk of weed and algae growth, stops fading and extends the life of your driveway. If you want to protect the investment of time and money that you've made in your new block paving driveway, coating it with a decent sealer it is the ideal way to accomplish it.

Sealants must never be applied to a newly installed driveway as sand and jointing needs to properly settle for a while. The recommended waiting time for applying sealant to a new drive is 6 months, and it is always better to use a specialist for this type of project because it's hard to rectify any errors with this process.
