Block paved patios in Bordon: the local picture
Bordon is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

In the South East, a block paved patio usually costs £85–£150 per m² including VAT. For a 20 m² patio, that is roughly £2,000–£3,500. 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
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.
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
What we check on a Bordon survey
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- 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 Bordon?
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 Bordon: questions
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.
Do I need planning permission for a block paved patio in Bordon?
Not usually for a patio or path behind the house. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, and 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.
