Planning a block paved patio in Ebbw Vale
Ebbw Vale has a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many older patios here are ready to be replaced or re-laid.
Wales is wetter than most of England, and new front paving has to be permeable or drain within the property, so drainage is designed in from the start.

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
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What the survey covers
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Ebbw Vale?
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 Wales, new front paving should be permeable or drain within your boundary to avoid planning permission, and drives of 100 m² or more need SuDS approval.
