What is included?
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.
Chalk, clay and sandy ground all occur across the South East, so the dig and sub-base depth are set on the survey rather than assumed.
- Optional sealer
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
What the survey covers
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Outside taps, lights and cables
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Isle of Wight?
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.
