Springvale Driveways Ltd covers Kent and Medway as a company of approved surfacing contractors with Kent County Council. Located in Rainham, we deliver the complete start-to-finish service on driveway, patio and paving installations. Now in our 40th year, we’ve seen many different surfacing trends and block paving is one of the most recent. Areas covered by our company include Chatham, Gillingham, Hempstead and Rochester.

There are two major reasons for customers in the local area to use us for block paving installations:

Springvale was one of the first companies to replace porous driveway bases with concrete bases to prevent sinking and weed growth.
Because we diamond cut individual blocks, we can accurately work to any profile including dropped kerbs and tight, awkward areas.

Rainham is a key service area for our driveway contractors but we also lay block paving for customers in all Kent and Medway areas. Springvale Driveways liaises with local authorities to gain approval for vehicle crossings and for dropped kerbs.

What is Block Paving?

Block paving is a decorative surfacing material with a wide variety of domestic and commercial applications. In domestic environments, it is commonly used on driveway, patio and paving installations. Commercially, block paving can be found in the pedestrianised areas of town centres, on the forecourts of retail areas, and even on company car parks because it has such great kerb appeal and attracts visitors.

Compared to continuous surfaces laid as a single installation, block paving has the main benefit of easy uplifting in individual quantities. Property owners in Rainham, Chatham, Gillingham, Hempstead and Rochester, and those across the Kent and Medway areas, can replace damaged blocks or have future underground utility works undertaken without having to have the entire driveway or the dropped kerb lifted.

A non-slip surface makes block paving suitable for use as a driveway. There are fewer slipping and skidding risks to worry about with a block paving installation.
Resilience, strength and durability make block paving a superior choice for driveway installations. We can lay a wide selection of attractive, intricate patterns.
Because very little cutting is required, it is easier for Kent and Medway homeowners to order block paving in accurate quantities and to control their costs.
The inclusion of a dropped kerb is simple to accommodate. Springvale can liaise with your local authority to obtain planning approval for vehicle crossing areas.
Block paving has a potential lifespan of 25 years and upwards. It requires very little maintenance. A concrete base minimises the potential for weed growth.
Heavy loads and foot traffic can be absorbed without the driveway surface becoming damaged, making block paving particularly suitable for commercial environments.
A variety of shades results in a great aesthetic appeal and gives homeowners the opportunity to customise a driveway in stylish patterns and colour schemes.

Block paving is a great choice for customers in Rainham, Chatham, Gillingham, Hempstead and Rochester who want to have a high-end driveway installed on an intermediate budget. Because homeowners in Kent and Medway never have to apply for dropped kerb or planning permission personally, there’s never the need to deal with local authorities or other contractors.
