Block paved patios in Camberley: the local picture
Homes in Camberley include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
Planning-sensitive towns and conservation areas are common in the South East, so we check the front-garden rules before quoting.

What you get with our patios service
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.
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Optional sealer
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Falls away from the house and doors
What we check on a Camberley survey
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Levels against the damp-proof course and door thresholds
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Camberley?
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 Camberley: questions
How long does a block paved patio take?
Most patios and paths take two to five working days, depending on the size, any steps and the dig. Your quote gives the expected duration.
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 Camberley?
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.
Is the survey in Camberley free?
Yes, for new paving here: the survey and written quote are free with no obligation. Repairs and cleaning are usually priced from photos, or from a short visit where needed.
