Block Paving

Block Paving in Staines-upon-Thames

Block Paving in Staines-upon-Thames can give a Victorian terrace or a twentieth-century family home a new driveway, a patio for the garden or a pathway to the door. We match the colours, pattern and border to the house and to how you use the space. The place to start is telling us what is there now and the rough size of the area.

Homes in Staines-upon-Thames

Staines-upon-Thames is a Surrey town on the River Thames. Its housing runs from Victorian terraces near the centre to twentieth-century family homes, some of them close to the river. A terrace and a family home rarely want the same layout, so we plan each paved area around parking, the way in and how it meets the house or garden. The grey driveway with a dark border pictured here is our own finished work, and the review beside it praises a prompt start and good value.

Finished grey block paving driveway with a dark border

“I am very happy with my new block-paving driveway and have no hesitation in recommending M&R Property Services. The four-man team started the project promptly and worked hard to complete the job without delay. They were polite and cheerful throughout. Their expertise and skill in the design and construction of block-paving was evident at all times. On completion, the site was left in an immaculate condition. Above all, they were good value for money.”

What matters for block paving in Staines-upon-Thames

Before Block Paving in Staines-upon-Thames goes down, settle the planning question. A new driveway over five square metres in a front garden needs planning permission unless water can soak through it or drain to a lawn or border, so tell us where rainwater goes from the area now. What lies underneath matters too: a driveway lasts longest on a properly dug and compacted sub-base.

  • We work out where cars park, where you walk in and how the paving joins the house or garden.
  • You choose the block colour, the laying pattern and the border detail.
  • Our gallery of finished M&R paving helps you show us a style you like.
  • Have your postcode, the rough size and what covers the area now to hand when you contact us.

Questions about block paving in Staines-upon-Thames

Do I need planning permission to block pave my front garden?

It depends on size and drainage. A new driveway over five square metres in a front garden needs planning permission unless water can soak through it or drain to a lawn or border. Tell us how rainwater leaves the area today and we can talk through the layout with that in mind.

Can a block paved driveway match a path or patio in the garden?

Yes. We lay block paving for driveways, patios and pathways, and you choose the colours, pattern and border for each. If the driveway joins up with a patio or wider garden work, say so when you get in touch so we can look at it all together.

Details that help

  • Your postcode and roughly how big the area is
  • What covers the area now
  • Whether it is for cars, a patio or a path, and if you want permeable blocks
