Block paved patios in Tonyrefail: the local picture
Tonyrefail is a smaller town, and many homes have more garden to work with, which leaves room for borders, steps and planting around the paving.
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.
How much does a block paved patio cost in Tonyrefail?
Most block paved patio quotes in Wales fall within £75–£130 per m² including VAT. A 20 m² patio would usually be about £1,700–£3,000, with any extras listed separately on your quote.

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.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
Before we price your block paved patio
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Steps, walls and changes of level
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Tonyrefail?
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.
