Block paved patios in Enfield: the local picture
Across Enfield, gardens range from narrow terrace plots to wide modern ones, and the best block, pattern and drainage choice changes with them.
A patio or path needs the same care underneath as a drive: a compacted base, edges set in concrete and falls that take water away from the house.
How much does a block paved patio cost in Enfield?
In London, a block paved patio usually costs £95–£170 per m² including VAT. For a 20 m² patio, that is roughly £2,200–£3,850. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.

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.
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your block paved patio
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Enfield?
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.
