What does a block paved patio involve?
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.
Wet winters in Northern Ireland make falls, edge restraints and full joints especially important.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
What the survey covers
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in County Fermanagh?
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 Northern Ireland, front paving over 5 m² must be porous or drain within your boundary to be permitted development.

Patios in County Fermanagh: questions
How long does a block paved patio take?
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.

Yes, for new paving here: the survey and written quote are free with no obligation. Repairs and cleaning are usually priced from photos, or from a short visit where needed.
