What is included?
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.
- Optional sealer
- Jointing sand and compaction
- 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)
Before we price your block paved patio
- Manhole and inspection covers in the area
- Where rain will go: falls away from the house, onto lawn or borders, or into a channel
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Trees and roots near the paving
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Bognor Regis?
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.

Can the paving be level with the back door?
