Block paved patios in Clydach: the local picture
Clydach 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.

Expect block paved patios in Clydach to come in at around £75–£130 per m², including VAT at 20%. As an example, a 20 m² patio usually comes to between £1,700 and £3,000.

What is included?
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
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Falls away from the house and doors
- Jointing sand and compaction
What we check on a Clydach survey
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Clydach?
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.
