What to know before a block paved patio in Tynemouth
Tynemouth has a mix of semis, terraces and newer estates, and many older patios here are ready to be replaced or re-laid.
Former colliery ground and clay soils occur across the North East, so the survey checks for soft spots before the sub-base depth is set.

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.
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Blocks in your pattern, edges and cuts
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Optional sealer
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
What we check on a Tynemouth survey
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Trees and roots near the paving
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Tynemouth?
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.
