What you get with our patios service
A block paved patio is a garden seating or dining area paved with concrete or clay blocks on a compacted base. Because a patio carries people and furniture rather than cars, the sub-base is thinner than for a drive, but the falls, edging and drainage matter just as much.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What we check on a Coalisland survey
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Coalisland?
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.
