Block Paving Long Eaton

Block Paving Long Eaton Derbyshire (NG10): Block paving is an eye-catching way to build a pathway, drive or patio area around your property in Long Eaton. In both domestic and commercial settings, creating a hard wearing and durable parking area for vehicles is the the most common use of block pavers.

Off-road parking is an extremely appealing feature for any property in Long Eaton, and a professionally installed block paved driveway will add a bit of extra value to your home. Should you ever decide to sell your house, money invested in good block paving now, will yield a return in the long run.

It's crucial that you think carefully about how large to make your block paving driveway in Long Eaton, and to prepare an exact design for the planned area. Obviously, you may be restricted by the size of the land area you've got to build on, but it is best to design your new drive to be able to easily park and manoeuvre your car. It is also a wise idea, if possible, to think of putting in a drive that has the capacity for one more car than you own. This will give you the extra space required when tradesmen or visitors call, and for further vehicles that could be purchased by your family members moving forward.

When you are hunting for a qualified block paving installer in Long Eaton, always attempt to get at least 3 estimates from different local companies. You can ask for recommendations and advice from friends or relatives, if any of them have recently had a block paved driveway installed.

A reputable company should provide a free and in depth quote for completing the project. Any contractors who simply rock up at your door declaring they "happen to be in the area on another job", should be avoided. There are far too many scary stories of property owners having second-rate work, or being left out of pocket when the promised drive is not finished, by these types of people.

Provisioned for any decent quote would be items like:

• Preparation groundwork (excavations)
• Sub-base installation
• Drainage and water run-off specifications
• Quantity, colour and style of block pavers
• Waste disposal
• Other things to consider

If your new block paved driveway in Long Eaton is replacing an existing drive, it will be necessary to lift, remove and recycle the old materials. It could be necessary to do further excavations to ensure that building regulations concerning the damp proof course of your home are adhered to. The guidelines demand that new driveways are laid two brick courses or 6 inches below the current damp proof course of your house.

Long Eaton block paved driveways that are being installed on top of grass or bare earth, will need approximately nine inches (230mm) of soil to be excavated and taken away. This allows for a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer to be created before any actual block paving is installed.

A layer of MOT Type 1 crushed gravel and stones, topped with sharp sand, is used to form the sub-base. A sturdy sub-base ensures your drive won't move or develop dips and low lying spots where pools can form. The MOT Type 1 is a crushed granular aggregate, normally composed of granite or limestone which is compacted to form a strong, firm and durable surface for your footpath, patio or driveway in Long Eaton.

Any drainage issues will be sorted out during this phase of the installation. If one isn't already inherent in the natural lay of the land, a fall or gradient will be developed, to encourage the water to drain away. Either drainage channels/grates can be installed between your home and the driveway for channelling away this water, or it can simply be directed away from your house by the effect of slope.

Sharp sand is shovelled onto the packed down sub-base Type 1 aggregate and levelled off to form a base for the pavers to be laid into.

All driveways in Long Eaton above 5 sq metres must allow surface water to drain away to a suitable permeable area. If this cannot be complied with you will need to apply for planning permission from the local authorities for the driveway installation. You aren't allowed to redirect water run-off from a driveway into the drainage system, as it can increase the risk of local flooding in the area.

To ensure your new drive adheres to the legal guidelines, an established Long Eaton block paving specialist will figure out your requirements for drainage as part of the driveway installation process and take any necessary measures. They might need to excavate a dedicated soak-away, add integrated drainage channels/grates or install a SUDS compliant permeable driveway, so as to achieve this.

Further drainage and design features might have to be considered if your property is inside the defined limits of a conservation area. With their experience and knowledge, an established block paving installer will be able to successfully steer you through this process, and bring it to an acceptable conclusion.

To suit any design and pattern of driveway you want, block pavers come in a variety of different colours, sizes and shapes. From the commonplace and widespread, straight edged, rectangular or square paving blocks, to the more ornamental, s-shape, diamond, curved and circular patterns, there will surely be a style that matches your needs perfectly. You could match up your drive colours with the brickwork of your home, or create an eye-catching feature with a completely different colour.

Older properties in Long Eaton might be more suited to the traditional style of pavers, generally known as tumbled pavers, which produce a more sympathetic and seamless result. These are pre-faded during manufacture and have a rustic and authentic look to their appearance. For a that more modern look, you can also buy contemporary pavers, which can even create a high-gloss finish when correctly sealed.

The design of your driveway might be a straightforward square or rectangular shape, or maybe you've got landscaping features that it will need to weave its way around. Block paving can be laid in several patterns to achieve different effects; Stretcher Bond, Herringbone and Basketweave are 3 of the most common design patterns. A reputable block paving contractor in Long Eaton will be able to provide you with a quality drive that looks awesome, whichever design you choose.

You should also look at installing a block paving edging. Your local block paving installer will be happy to talk about the finer details of raised edging, different shapes or colours, or if your new drive even needs to be edged.

When you're given a quotation for block paving installation, the fees for the removal of waste materials and its correct manner of disposal should accounted for. The dimensions of your new driveway will dictate the quantity of waste materials and soil that will need to be gotten rid of. If it cannot be used in other sections of your garden, any excess topsoil must be carried away by truck or in a skip. Responsible disposal at a registered site is a must for any waste earth and associated materials.

Although it isn't a requirement for your new driveway in Long Eaton, you might be encouraged to apply a seal to the block paving after installation. Sealing a block paving driveway will help protect your drive from staining, reduces the growth of weed and algae, prevents fading and prolongs the lifespan of your drive. A decent sealant is a great way to secure the investment that you have made in your brand new block paving driveway.

Sealers should never be applied to a recently installed block paved driveway as jointing and sand needs to settle properly for some time. It's recommended that you wait at least 6 mths before applying sealant to a new drive, and it is highly advised to use a specialist for the application because errors are hard to rectify.

Apart from gaining a useful facility, and increasing the value of your building, you can truly transform the appearance of your house with a new block paving patio or driveway. It can provide a hard wearing and stable area for securely parking your vehicle, or create a wonderful area to relax and enjoy a durable seating and BBQ area in your back garden.
