Planning a block paved patio in Bedworth
Homes in Bedworth include plenty of semis and detached houses with gardens big enough for a patio and a path to the gate.
Clay ground is widespread in the West Midlands, so the sub-base depth and drainage are checked on every survey.

For Bedworth, our guide is £80–£140 per m² including VAT, so a 20 m² patio is likely to be £1,850–£3,200. Smaller jobs cost more per square metre because set-up and waste costs do not shrink with the area.

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
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
What the survey covers
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Edges against lawns, beds, fences and walls
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Bedworth?
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.
