Block Paving Atherstone

Block Paving Atherstone Warwickshire (CV9): Block paving is an appealing way to create a driveway, path or patio around your property in Atherstone. Of all its many uses, block paving is mostly used to produce durable and long lasting parking areas for cars and vehicles in settings of both a domestic and commercial nature.

A professionally installed a block paved drive will add some extra value to your house, because off-road parking is a particularly desirable feature for any Atherstone property. Money invested in good quality block paving now will pay dividends in the long term should you decide to sell your house.

You need to consider the dimensions of your block pave driveway in Atherstone during the design phase of the process, to make sure it's large enough for your purpose. Certainly, you may be constrained by the size of the land area that you have to build on, but it is advisable to plan your new driveway to be able to safely park and manoeuvre your car or vehicle. If it's possible to put in a driveway that has room for at least one more car than your own, that is also a good idea. This provides enough space for visitor's cars and also for older children's vehicles when they get through their test and start driving.

When attempting to find a professional contractor to install your block paved area in Atherstone, always get at least 3 detailed quotes from different companies. Where possible ask friends or relatives who have had a block paved drive installed, for their advice and recommendations.

Any Atherstone block paving installer worthy of the name will be happy to provide you with a completely free and in depth quotation for the project in hand. Try to stay away from chancers who say that they "happen to be working locally on another job." They might of course be legit (but are unlikely to be), and there are hundreds of horrific stories of homeowners being left out of pocket when the promised drive is not finished, or having poor quality work carried out.

Items that will be factored into any quote might include:

• Preparation groundwork, i.e. excavations
• Sub-base installation
• Drainage and water run-off requirements
• Style, amount and colour of block pavers
• Waste disposal
• Other things to consider

If your new block paved drive is is going to replace an existing driveway, it will be necessary to first lift, remove and dispose of the old materials. Additional excavations may be needed to make sure that your new block paved driveway abides by building regulations relating to your property's DPC (damp proof course). Two brick courses below your existing DPC, is the guideline for new driveway installations in Atherstone.

If your new block pave driveway in Atherstone is being laid on top of bare earth or grass, roughly 230mm of soil will need to be dug out and removed. This allows for a proper sub-base and sharp sand layer to be created before any actual block paving is installed.

The sub-base is created from a sharp sand topped layer of Type 1 crushed stones and gravel. The installation of a firm and stable sub-base is vital to ensure your drive won't develop low lying spots where puddles can form and cause issues. The Type 1 is a crushed aggregate, generally composed of granite or limestone which is compacted to create a durable, sturdy and firm surface for your drive, footpath or terrace in Atherstone.

During this phase of the installation process any potential drainage issues will be taken care of. To allow the water to flow away easily, a slope or fall, will be inserted, if not already inherent in the natural lay of the land. Either purpose built drainage channels/grates can be inserted in between your dwelling and the drive for channelling away this water, or it can just be directed away from your house by the incline.

Once the sub-base aggregate has been firmly compacted down, sharp sand will be added and levelled out to form a base for laying the block pavers.

Excess surface water must be drained off to a suitable permeable area on all driveways over 5 square metres in Atherstone. Planning permission from your local authority will be needed, if this precondition can't be observed. So as to avoid local flooding, any excess water from your driveway is not allowed to be redirected into the main drainage system.

To ensure your new drive sticks to the legal guidelines, a competent Atherstone block paving installation specialist will calculate your requirements for drainage as an integral part of the drive installation process and take any necessary measures. So as to do this they might have to excavate a soak-away area on your property, install a SUDS compliant permeable driveway or add integrated drainage channels .

Buildings which are inside a declared conservation area will require additional consideration in relation to drainage and design elements. With their experience and knowhow, a dependable block paving installation contractor should be able to skillfully steer you through this process, and reach an acceptable solution.

There are a variety of different shapes, colours and sizes of block pavers, and whatever design of driveway you want, you should have no problem finding a product that works. With options from the frequently seen straight sided, square or rectangular blocks, to the more showy, s-shape, diamond, circular and curved versions, you should be able to find your ideal style. You could match your drive colours with the brickwork of your house, or create a striking feature with a completely different colour.

Older properties in Atherstone may be better suited to the traditional style block pavers, often known as tumble or tumbled pavers, which produce a more sympathetic and seamless result. These have been pre-faded during manufacture to give the look of being old and time-worn. For a that more modern look, you can also buy contemporary block pavers, which can provide you with a high-gloss surface finish when properly sealed.

Your new block paver drive in Atherstone could be designed as a straightforward rectangular or square shape, or it could weave around other landscaped elements of your garden. To accomplish different effects, block paving can be laid in many patterns; Herringbone, Stretcher Bond and Basketweave, being the most commonplace. A skilled block paving installer in Atherstone will build a quality driveway that looks amazing, whichever design or pattern you choose.

The installation of some block paving edging is also something to look into. You can discuss with your chosen contractor the pros and cons of raised edging, contrasting shapes and colours, or if your drive butts up against walls, whether it in fact needs edging at all.

Charges for the removal of waste and the expedient manner of its disposal should all be listed in a block paving installation estimate. The overall size of your new driveway will determine the amount of existing driveway materials and earth that will be required to be disposed of. If it can't be made use of in other parts of your garden, any excavated earth will have to be transported away by truck or in a skip. Responsible disposal at a registered site is a must for any waste soil and old driveway materials.

Whilst it is not essential for your new drive in Atherstone, you may be encouraged to put a coat of sealant on the block paving after it's been installed. Sealing can lengthen the lifespan of your block paving driveway, it also stops fading, keeps it from staining, enhances the colour and inhibits the risk of algae growth. A high quality sealant is an ideal way to secure the investment that you have made in your new block paving driveway.

Since the sand and jointing needs to settle properly for some time, sealers should not be put on to a recently installed driveway. The suggested waiting time for coating a new drive with sealant is 6 months, and it is always wise to use a specialist for this kind of project because it is hard to put right any mistakes in this process.
