Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway?

If your driveway is over 5m² and drains onto a public highway, you'll need planning permission unless you use permeable paving. We can advise on the best solution for your property.

How long does installation take?

Most standard driveways take 5-7 working days from excavation to completion. Larger or more complex projects may take longer.

What maintenance is required?

Block paving is low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional jet washing keeps it looking great. We recommend re-sanding joints every 2-3 years and optional sealing for enhanced protection.

Can you match existing blocks?

Yes, we can often match existing blocks for extensions or repairs. We'll bring samples to your property for the best color match.
