About Block Paving Norwich

Block Paving Norwich does one thing: block paving. New driveways, patios, paths and permeable paving, and the repairs, relaying and cleaning that keep existing block paving in good order. Keeping to one trade means every job gets the same attention to the parts that make paving last.

Those parts are mostly underground. A block paved driveway is only as good as the sub-base beneath it, the edging that holds it in and the falls that take the water away. We take our time over the dig, the compaction and the levels, because once the blocks are down nobody sees them, and that is where a poor job shows up a year or two later.

We work across Norfolk from Norwich, on homes of every age: Victorian terraces with narrow front gardens, post-war semis with a single drive, newer estates and village properties with long, sweeping entrances. Each one starts with a conversation about how you use the space, followed by a visit and a written price.

We would rather explain the choices clearly than sell you something you do not need. If a repair will do, we will say so. If permeable paving makes more sense for your front garden, or a patch of paving is better relaid than patched, we will tell you why.

Good block paving should look after itself for a long time with very little help: a sweep now and then, weeds pulled while they are small and the joints topped up when the sand washes out. When we finish a job we explain how to look after the surface, what is normal in the first few months, such as the sand settling or a white bloom on new concrete blocks, and what is worth getting in touch about.
