Towns we cover in Gwynedd
We quote paths in every town across Gwynedd, including:
What is included?
We set edging both sides in concrete, keep steps and changes of level safe and even, and make sure side passages fall away from the house walls and air bricks. Curves are laid with the blocks cut to follow the line rather than leaving ragged edges.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.
- Falls away from walls and to gullies
- Edging both sides, bedded and haunched
- Steps formed where levels change
- Dig-out and compacted base
- Blocks, cuts and jointing sand
What the survey covers
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Steps, walls and changes of level

Do you need permission for a block paved path in Gwynedd?
A patio or path behind the house does not usually need planning permission. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, so we check on the survey.
Paving in front of the house follows the front-garden rules: in Wales, new front paving should be permeable or drain within your boundary to avoid planning permission, and drives of 100 m² or more need SuDS approval.
