Block Paving
If you’re looking to have your driveway redone or you want to have one installed for the first time, block paving is a popular option across the UK thanks to its versatility and classic style.
Block paving can be laid as part of a DIY project if you know what you’re doing and have enough resources.
If you don’t, there’s no need to worry as Tradesmen Prices can offer you 3-4 quotes from local tradespeople who will get the job done swiftly, attractively, and in a professional manner.
You can find the cost of your block paving project by using the form below to apply for your quotes – and use them to compare against ones you already have in order to make sure you’re getting the best service possible.
Block Paving Types.
Block paving is priced per metre squared which could have a direct effect on which type of paving you eventually buy.
There are two main types of block paver: clay, and concrete.
Concrete Block Pavers
Advantages
- Fairly cheap
- Choice of shapes
- Textured blocks available
- Highly accurate sizing
- Wide choice of block depths (40mm, 100mm or more)
Disadvantages
- Aggregate can become exposed over time
- Colours fade
Clay Block Pavers
Advantages
- Extremely hardwearing
- Natural colour doesn’t fade
- Patterned options available
Disadvantages
- Slightly more expensive than concrete
- Prone to mosses and lichen
- Sizing can vary due to firing process
- Difficult to cut
- Limited block depth choice (60mm, 65, or 80mm)
It’s worth noting that clay blocks are recommended by the Brick Development Association as they are more hard-wearing than concrete. Although they cost a little more, they’re considered a good investment.
