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
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
What the survey covers
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Steps, walls and changes of level
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Kidsgrove?
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.
