Block paved patios in Coalville: the local picture
Homes in Coalville include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
Clay and mudstone ground is common in the East Midlands, so we allow for a deeper sub-base where the survey shows soft ground.

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.
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Optional sealer
What we check on a Coalville survey
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Coalville?
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.
