Block Paving in Waltham Abbey

Block paving can look great as a driveway. It really is an elegant and functional solution to your driveway and will give your home great kerb appeal. Whether you want a classic herringbone design or something a bit different, there are many block paving materials and options available to you. The bricks used in block paving are manufactured from clay commonly, but some are made of different composite materials. One of the main benefits to block paving is that if some of the bricks get damaged over time, they can simply be replaced. It also means that it's easier to carry out work under the surface of the paving without leaving a mark. The most common pattern that driveway companies lay is the herringbone pattern since it has the strongest interlock, which makes it a fantastic choice for driveways. The tradesperson creates the herringbone pattern by setting the blocks at 45 degrees or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. Both types of herringbone pattern create an elegant and appealing look for your driveway that can make your home look fantastic to buyers.

Waltham Abbey is a market town in Epping Forest District in the southwest of the county of Essex. It is located on the Greenwich Meridian, in between the River Lea in the west and also Epping Woodland in the eastern, with a population of 20,400. The community's name stems from the Abbey Church of Waltham Holy Cross, an arranged old monument that signified in the town's earlier background. Waltham Abbey is approximated to be about 60 to 90 metres above water level, with the elevation of several locations being capped by the sand and gravel from Epping Woodland. Waltham Abbey church consists of the towns and halmets of High Coastline, Holyfield, Sewardstone and Upshire. The M25 freeway experiences the south of the town through the middle of the parish and is accessed at Junction 26. In the early 20th century, the town contained glass homes and also market yards. A vital industry in the Lea Valley was gravel removal, which has left a tradition of pits that proceed to be utilized for recreational functions and as a substantial habitat for wild animals. Waltham Abbey's population started to increase in the 1960s and throughout the 1970s. This was, partly, due to a widespread scheme of clearances as well as redevelopment in the community centre, combined with the construction of real estate estates on the outskirts. As an outcome of the town's close proximity to the M25, it has ended up being a dorm room town, although it continues to be the house of some light sector. Much seen is the Epping Forest Conservation Centre in High Beach, which offers details, maps, books, cards, display screens and also advice for visitors to the location.

FAQs

What materials can I use to surface my driveway?

The most commonly used driveway surfacing materials are gravel, asphalt, concrete and paving - which can be block, slabbed or patten imprinted. Take a look at our product information pages to help you decide which one to use and which one will look best for your driveway.

Do I need to be at home when my driveway is being worked on?

Your contractor should have access to your driveway and a power source. If they have these things, you don’t need to be there while they’re working on your driveway. However, it’s worth being around if you can so you can clarify details and answer any questions.

how much is block paving?

So have you decided to lay block paving on your property? If yes, then knowing how much it would cost would help you prepare a budget and set out a plan before commencement of the project. The cost of block paving depends on a wide range of factors such as the the size of the area in question, cost of labour as well as the type of brick and block paving to be used. So how much does block paving cost? In this article, we’ll give you an general idea of the cost of laying of block paving on a driveway so you can estimate your cost according to your personal requirements and needs.

For a small to medium sized driveway featuring a complex design, the block pavings’ cost starts from a range between £3,000 to £4,000, meanwhile that of a large sized pathway will jump to a range between £6,500 to £7,500. And depending on the complexity of the design, the final cost of the project can be greatly impacted as it would also take a longer period of time to be completed. For the same small to medium sized pathway featuring a simple design which usually takes up to 3 to 4 days will cost within a range of £4,500 to £5,500. While a complex design such as a herringbone pattern will take up to 5 to 6 days and costing within a range of £5,000 to £6,000.

Furthermore, there are also other factors that can determine the price of block paving and another example is the current condition. This includes the preparation work to be carried out before laying the block paving can be a time consuming task especially when the driveway is in a terrible condition and this comes with a high labour cost. Another factor to be considered is the materials used in making the block paving such as stone, concrete, cement, composite and resin - they’re all available in various range of colours and textures. They play a key role in the block paving cost.

When's the best time to get driveway work done?

Driveway work is usually done in the warmer half of the year. This is partly to avoid bad weather. If you want to get ahead and avoid waiting for a contractor to be free, you should try getting in touch with a professional in the early spring so a date can be booked for install as soon as practically possible.
