Block paved patios in Winsford: the local picture
Winsford has a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many older patios here are ready to be replaced or re-laid.
The North West is one of the wetter parts of England, so falls, channel drains and permeable options matter more than usual.

What you get with our patios service
Block suits patios that join a block drive or path, small or awkward spaces where large slabs would need too many cuts, and gardens where you want a pattern such as basketweave or a circle feature. We lay patios to fall away from the house and below the damp-proof course, with edging that stops the blocks creeping into the lawn.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
What we check on a Winsford survey
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Winsford?
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 England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary.

Most patios and paths take two to five working days, depending on the size, any steps and the dig. Your quote gives the expected duration.
Can the paving be level with the back door?
Paving normally sits at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course. A level step-out needs a drainage channel against the house and careful detailing, which we agree on the survey.
