Block Paving in Heywood, Rochdale

The price of a new driveway depends on a few things, like the size of the area, the type of blocks you choose, and how much ground preparation is needed. We always provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras. We visit your home to measure up and talk through the options so you get a price tailored to your specific project.

Most of the time, you won't need planning permission for a new driveway if the surface is permeable. This means water can soak through it into the ground. If the area is larger than five square metres and isn't permeable, you must have a proper drainage system like a soakaway or a channel drain. We are experts in these regulations and will make sure your new installation meets all the local council requirements.

Both have their benefits, but block paving is often the favourite for homeowners wanting to maximise kerb appeal. It offers far more design choices with different shapes and colours. While tarmac is a solid, cost-effective choice, block paving is much easier to repair if you ever need to get to underground pipes or cables. It adds a premium feel to a property which often reflects in the house value.

Weeds don't actually grow from under the blocks if the groundworks are done correctly. Instead, seeds blow into the sand in the joints. The best way to keep your driveway looking sharp is to give it a regular sweep and perhaps use a weed preventative once or twice a year. Because we use high-quality jointing sand and professional installation techniques, we help keep maintenance to a minimum.
