FAQ
Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway in Filton?
In most cases, no, provided you use permeable block paving or drain rainwater to a soakaway or lawn within your property boundary. We handle all the technical requirements for Filton properties to ensure your new driveway is fully compliant with current regulations.
What is the best block paving pattern for a Filton driveway?
Herringbone is our most recommended pattern for Filton driveways, it provides the strongest interlock and handles vehicle traffic brilliantly. However, stretcher bond and basketweave also work well depending on your property's style. We'll help you choose at your free consultation.
What maintenance does block paving need?
Block paving is very low maintenance. We recommend an annual brush and wash to keep it looking fresh, and reapplying kiln-dried jointing sand if it washes out over time. For Filton properties, we also offer optional sealing treatments that enhance colour and inhibit weed growth.
Is block paving suitable for Filton's climate?
Block paving is ideal for the Bristol area's climate. It handles heavy rain through permeable options and jointed gaps, withstands frost without cracking (unlike poured concrete surfaces), and performs reliably through the wet winters we experience in Filton and across BS34.
