FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our block paving and driveway installations in Felixstowe & Suffolk.

Do I need planning permission for a new block paving driveway?

+

In most cases, you do not need planning permission if the driveway uses permeable paving or if the rainwater is directed to a lawn or border to drain naturally. This follows the SuDS rules. If you plan to create a non-permeable surface that lets water run into the public street, you might need permission. We can advise you on this during our first visit.

How long does it take to install a block paved driveway?

+

A standard two-car driveway usually takes between five and seven working days. This depends on the weather and how much excavation is needed. We always give you a clear timeline before we start so you can plan around the work.

How do I stop weeds from growing between the blocks?

+

Weeds do not usually grow from underneath if the sub-base is built correctly. They usually grow from seeds that blow into the sand joints from the air. Regular sweeping and an occasional application of weed killer or jointing stabiliser will keep your driveway looking clear and fresh.

Can you fix my sinking driveway?

+

Yes, we often repair driveways that were installed poorly by other companies. We can lift the affected blocks, fix the sub-base issues, and relay them so the surface is flat and stable again.

How much does a new block paving driveway cost?

+

The price depends on the size of the area, the type of blocks you choose, and how much preparation the ground needs. A simple replacement on a flat surface costs less than a project requiring significant excavation or drainage work. We provide clear, fixed-price quotes so you know exactly what to expect.

How long will the installation take?

+

Most domestic driveways take between 5 to 10 working days to complete. This includes the dig-out, sub-base installation, and the actual paving. We always aim to minimise disruption to your daily routine and will let you know if the weather might cause a delay.

Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?

+

Usually, you don't need planning permission if you use permeable paving or if the water drains into a garden or a soakaway within your property. However, if you are planning to pave over a large area with non-permeable materials and the water runs into the street, you might need it. We can advise you on the best way to stay compliant during our first visit.

How do I keep my new driveway looking its best?

+

Block paving is low maintenance, but not "no" maintenance. We recommend a seasonal sweep to remove debris and an occasional wash with a stiff brush. We also offer professional exterior cleaning services to keep your paving looking brand new year after year.
