What is included?
Clay block paving uses pavers made from fired clay rather than concrete. The colour runs right through the paver and does not fade, so a clay drive looks much the same after twenty years as it did when it was laid, and it weathers in the way a brick wall does.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland go through DfI Roads, so we build that timing into the plan for new drives.
- Jointing sand brushed in and the surface compacted with a protective pad
- Clean cuts with a wet saw where the pattern meets edges and covers
- Advice on paver colour and size to suit the house
- Clay pavers laid in herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond
- Dig-out, edging and compacted sub-base
What the survey covers
- Trees and roots near the drive
- Existing manhole and inspection covers, and whether to recess them
- Ground conditions under the old surface and how deep the sub-base must be
- Steps, thresholds and door heights
- Whether front-garden planning rules apply
Rules for front drives in County Fermanagh
In Northern Ireland, a hard surface between the front of the house and the road that covers or replaces more than 5 m² must be porous or permeable, or drain to a permeable area within the property, to be permitted development.
Hard surfaces within the grounds of a listed building need listed building consent. Planning is handled by your district council, so check with its planning office if you are unsure.
Dropped kerbs in Northern Ireland are approved by DfI Roads (the Department for Infrastructure), not the council; check planning separately with the council.
General guidance, not legal advice. Your survey confirms what applies to your home. See the planning guide.
