— Benefits
Why Choose a Block Paved Driveway?
Block paving remains one of the most popular driveway surfaces in Hinckley and across Leicestershire, and for good reason.
Built to Last
Concrete and clay pavers laid on a properly compacted sub-base can last 20 years or more and comfortably take the weight of everyday cars and vans.
Endless Design Choice
Choose from dozens of colours, textures and laying patterns, including herringbone, basketweave, stretcher bond and circle features.
Easy to Repair
If a block is ever stained or damaged, it can be lifted and replaced on its own, with no patchy repairs like tarmac or concrete.
Adds Kerb Appeal
A smart block paved drive transforms the front of your home and is a feature buyers notice when it comes time to sell.
Permeable Options
Permeable block paving lets rainwater drain through the joints, helping reduce surface water and meet planning rules for front gardens.
Low Maintenance
An occasional sweep, jet wash and re-sand of the joints keeps your block paving driveway looking as good as the day it was laid.

Block Paving Patterns & Styles for Hinckley Homes
The laying pattern changes the whole look of your driveway. We will show you samples and help you pick a style that suits your home and how you use your drive.
Herringbone (45° or 90°)
The strongest pattern for driveways. The interlocking blocks spread the load of turning cars, making it our most popular choice in Hinckley.
Basketweave
Pairs of blocks laid at right angles for a classic, traditional look. Ideal for paths, patios and lighter-use driveways.
Stretcher Bond
Blocks laid in rows like brickwork. A clean, modern finish that can make a narrow driveway look longer or wider.
Circles & Feature Designs
Circle kits, fans and contrasting borders create a real centrepiece on larger driveways and turning areas.

— Drainage & planning
Permeable Block Paving & Planning Permission in Hinckley
If you are paving over more than 5 square metres of front garden in England, the surface must either be permeable (porous) or drain rainwater to a lawn, border or soakaway within your property. If it doesn't, you will usually need planning permission from Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council.
We can install permeable block paving, where rainwater soaks through specially designed joints into the sub-base, or fit drainage channels and soakaways with traditional blocks. Either way, we design your driveway to stay within the rules so you don't have to worry about planning.
— Pricing
How Much Does a Block Paving Driveway Cost in Hinckley?
Every driveway is different, so we always price after a free site visit. The main things that affect the cost of a block paving driveway are:
-
Size of the area
Priced per square metre, so larger driveways cost more overall but often less per metre.
-
Block choice
Standard concrete blocks, premium tumbled or textured blocks and clay pavers all vary in price.
-
Groundworks
Removing old tarmac or concrete, levelling slopes and dealing with poor ground.
-
Drainage
Permeable systems, channel drains or soakaways needed to meet planning rules.
-
Design details
Borders, circles, steps, walls and extra cuts all add labour time.

Block Paving Driveways Hinckley: Frequently Asked Questions
Can't see your question? Call us on 0116 202 9871.
How much does a block paving driveway cost in Hinckley?
The price depends on the size of the area, the blocks you choose, how much groundwork is needed and the drainage required. We give every customer a free site visit and a fixed written quote, so you know exactly what you'll pay before work starts.
How long does it take to install a block paving driveway?
It depends on the size of the driveway, how much excavation is needed and the complexity of the design. Most domestic driveways are completed in a matter of days, and we'll give you a clear timescale with your quote.
How long will a block paving driveway last?
When laid on a properly excavated and compacted sub-base, a block paving driveway can last 20 years or more. Because individual blocks can be replaced, it is also easy to repair if ever needed.
Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway?
Not usually. In England, if your new front driveway is over 5 square metres it must be permeable or drain into a lawn, border or soakaway on your property. We install permeable block paving and drainage so your driveway meets these rules.
Which block paving pattern is best for a driveway?
Herringbone (at 45 or 90 degrees) is the strongest pattern for driveways because the interlocking blocks resist movement from turning cars. Basketweave and stretcher bond also work well, and we can add borders or circle features.
How do I look after my block paving driveway?
Sweep regularly, clean off oil spills quickly and jet wash once or twice a year. After jet washing, re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand. A sealer can also help protect the colour and reduce weeds.
Can you lay block paving over my existing driveway?
We don't recommend it. To make sure your driveway lasts, we remove the old surface and build a new compacted sub-base. Laying over old tarmac or concrete often leads to sinking, cracking and drainage problems.
Do you cover areas outside Hinckley?
Yes. As well as Hinckley we cover Burbage, Barwell, Earl Shilton, Stoney Stanton, Market Bosworth, Nuneaton, Leicester and the surrounding villages.
