FAQ

Common questions

How long does block paving last?

When properly installed with a correct sub-base, block paving typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more. Routine maintenance such as re-sanding joints and occasional power washing will extend its lifespan significantly. Our installations come with a written guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Do I need planning permission for block paving in Kingswood?

For front driveways in Kingswood, you generally don't need planning permission if the paving is permeable or if rainwater drains to a lawn or border. For non-permeable surfaces over 5 square metres, you may need permission from South Gloucestershire Council or Bristol City Council depending on your specific postcode. We can advise you on this during your free site visit.

How do I maintain block paving?

Block paving is low maintenance. Occasional power washing removes dirt and moss, and re-sanding joints every few years keeps the surface stable. Sealing is optional but helps prevent staining and weed growth between joints.

Can you replace individual blocks?

Yes - one of the biggest advantages of block paving over concrete or tarmac is that individual blocks can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the surface. This makes individual repairs quick and straightforward.

Is block paving a good investment?

Absolutely. A professionally installed block paving driveway or patio adds significant kerb appeal and value to your Kingswood home. The durability and repairability of block paving make it a durable long-term investment compared to alternatives that may need full replacement sooner.
