Can’t recommend Neil and his team enough
Neil and his team renewed our patio 3 years ago and this year we found that ants had burrowed underneath and made a slab loose..
Neil said that it was no problem to come back and sort the slab out which he did.

Choosing vs. Refurbishing Your Block Paving Driveway: What You Need to Consider
A block paving driveway is one of the best investments you can make to elevate your home’s curb appeal and property value.
1. New Installation vs. Professional Refurbishment
Before committing to the cost of a completely new driveway, evaluate the structural integrity of your current paving:
-
When to Refurbish: If your driveway is structurally sound but suffering from weed growth, moss, oil stains, or faded colours, a professional restoration is highly cost-effective. With expert deep-cleaning, re-sanding, and premium sealing, we can restore a tired driveway to its original, freshly laid glory.
-
When to Choose New Paving: If there is severe sagging, shifting, or foundational sinkage due to a failing sub-base, a complete excavation and new installation are required to ensure long-term durability.
2. Base Preparation and Drainage Compliance
The longevity of your driveway depends entirely on what lies beneath.
-
Sub-Base Depth: A driveway built for vehicular traffic requires a minimum of 150mm of compacted MoT Type 1 sub-base. Anything less leads to rutting and sinking under the weight of modern cars.
-
SUDS Drainage: In the UK, driveways must comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations to prevent surface flooding. We incorporate proper falls, linear drainage channels, and soakaway systems so your installation remains fully compliant and safe.
3. Material Selection and Quality Standards
When installing new paving, the quality of the blocks determines how well they resist wear and fading.
-
We recommend and install premium, accredited products from leading UK manufacturers like Bradstone and Tobermore.
-
Choosing high-quality concrete or natural stone block paving ensures better freeze-thaw resistance, preventing your paving from cracking during harsh winter months.
4. Ongoing Maintenance and Protection
Whether new or refurbished, a block paving driveway requires proactive protection to combat the British weather.
-
Precision Re-sanding: Replacing lost kiln-dried jointing sand is essential to lock the blocks in place and prevent structural movement.
-
Premium Sealing: Applying a high-grade polyurethane or acrylic sealer protects the surface against oil spills, prevents weed growth, and enhances the natural colour of the stone with a matte, satin, or gloss finish.
