What to know before a block paved patio in Mangotsfield
Homes in Mangotsfield include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
Sloping plots are common in the South West, which affects edging, steps and where the water runs.

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.
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
Before we price your block paved patio
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Mangotsfield?
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.

Patios in Mangotsfield: questions

Can the paving be level with the back door?
