Patio Layers Honiton

Whilst a limited patio assignment is perhaps something that you could attempt yourself if you are used to that kind of work, it is more likely to be the case that you may need to identify a specialist Honiton patio layer to carry out the job on your behalf, particularly for larger and more complex patios. It isn't only the laying of your garden patio that you have to consider but the removal and disposal of the resulting waste plus the introduction of new patio materials. You also need to keep in mind that laying patios can be quite back-breaking work, particularly if your old slabs were fixed with concrete. A large patio slab with a lump of concrete on is likely to be pretty weighty, therefore at least find someone to assist you in lifting these, should you opt to go it alone.

An expert Honiton patio contractor will give you advice on exactly what you may and may not have, recommend and order suitable materials and work out an ideal patio design for you to fit in with your available area. Ask for a sales brochure, any decent patio builder will be pleased to let you see a portfolio of work they have recently carried out in the Honiton area. From this brochure you should be able to get a good idea of exactly what your project will look like when it is complete, this should help you to pick out your preferred layout and materials.

Before any work starts, you'll need to go over a few things with the patio contractor. This would be looked at as the project planning stage and it's vital if the finished patio is to look as you intended. This preliminary dialogue should include such points as is there a need for site levelling, what sort of paving slabs are to be used, are there drains in the way, where a skip can be positioned for the removal of waste, and the exact location of the patio.

This phase of the patio project should include the extraction and disposal of surface debris and any old paving waste, extraction of topsoil to get down to the more stable sub-soil, introduction of a hardcore or sub-base and the resulting levelling and pressing down of this material, covering with a bedding layer for instance sharp sand.

The Laying of the Paving: When the area has all been got ready the patio contractor will begin installing the patio slabs, exactly how this process proceeds depends upon the materials you have picked, and will be relatively straightforward so long as the surface preparation was executed properly and the final base is flat and stable.

Materials Used for Patios: There are numerous different materials from which an outdoor patio can be built and the most common you will come across are composite slabs, limestone, blocks, cobbles, granite, slate, bricks, sandstone, gravel, asphalt, concrete, setts and slabs.

Gravel Patios: Gravel is a simple, quick and cost-effective alternative for a patio, and you may well be able to build this yourself, if you've got some rudimentary DIY skills. Whilst a garden area covered with paving slabs, is what most people visualise when contemplating a patio, there are in fact numerous different ways to make one, and amongst the most eye-catching materials that you can use is gravel.

It is a lot less expensive to build a patio using gravel, than it is to build one using timber decking or concrete slabs, and hardly any maintenance is needed afterwards, with the finished patio being extremely durable. Gravel patios are also more effective for drainage and can minimise the risk of flooding in locations that experience high levels of rainfall. With a growing number of householders in Honiton putting in solid driveways and patios, the flood risk rises. If you want to move or remove your patio at some future date, then the gravel option is the least difficult material to shift. A gravel patio is also easy to customise, as you can fashion it into almost any design or shape that you want. Since it blends in perfectly with any landscaping design, you'll struggle to do better than gravel, if you would like a more natural looking patio.

Driveway Installation Honiton

Driveways Honiton: At the same time as you are getting a new patio laid you might want to upgrade your driveway as well. Some patio builders in Honiton will also be prepared to handle this task for you, and it could be advantageous to get it done at the same time so that you only have one lot of mess and can use one large skip for your waste removal.

Your budget will of course influence whether or not you are able to do this, however it's well worth doing if it's feasible.

Patio Slabs Honiton

Patio Slabs/Paving Slabs Honiton: Patio slabs obviously do not only come in one size or thickness, there are all sorts of styles and sizes with equally differing prices. The patio slabs that you choose will depend on current trends, the need to match pre-existing materials, your allowed budget and personal preference. These days, most property owners in Honiton favour sandstone or concrete patio slabs, as these are widely available in local DIY outlets and garden centres, and can be delivered easily. Paving slab prices (at this time (2020)) vary from roughly three to fifteen pounds each though they're generally available in packs or twenty or more. Regular sizes are: 300mm x 300mm, 450mm x 450mm and 600mm x 600mm, the thickness can vary from 22-38mm.

Patio Problems Honiton

Honiton Patios - Issues: All through this website I've discussed several of the issues that can occur with an old patio, but to summarize, here are the key problems that are likely to arise with a patio: stained patio slabs, patio edgings collapsing, dirty patio slabs, slabs covered in moss, algae and lichen, damaged or cracked slabs, infestation by weeds, sunken patio slabs, standing water, trip hazards due to uneven slabs, loose or unstable slabs.

Artificial Grass Honiton

Artificial Lawns Honiton: Something which you may wish to consider instead of a paved patio is artificial grass, which is equally low maintenance, long lasting but can be installed considerably more cheaply than a paved patio and with less mess. Artificial grass looks the same as genuine grass, both from a distance and close up, but it doesn't grow and never needs mowing. If you're looking for a more affordable solution for your garden space in Honiton, then artificial grass could just be the alternative for you. Large areas concrete and stone can give a very drab appearance to your garden, the green colour of artificial grass is more calming and easy on the eye. The cost of artificial grass in Honiton is on a par with the cheapest quality paving slabs but less than half the cost of high end patio slabs.

Skip Hire Honiton

Whatever the extent of your patio laying project in Honiton it will most likely generate a fair amount of waste and rubbish which won't be appropriate for general disposal in your rubbish bins. Most local authorities also stipulate that the disposal of any building or garden materials must be done in a regulated and eco-friendly way. So as to remain on the safe side of the law, this means that your local council tip, or some other authorised disposal and recycling facility will be the only legitimate place to take such waste. But of course there is an alternative solution - you could look for Honiton skip hire, and sidestep the necessity to be continuously ferrying waste to your local Household Recycling Centre.

The advantage of using a trusted skip hire company in Honiton, is that you can be assured that all of your waste will be safely and correctly disposed of at a council approved site. All the same, it is important to establish the sort of waste materials that will be generated by the patio project, and you can confirm this with your contractor and the skip hire provider concerned. The skip hire service might need to use a separate disposal system, especially where dangerous asbestos waste is concerned.

The rules which cover the safe disposal of hazardous waste are extremely stringent, and consequently this is an undertaking that's best left for the experts. The skip hire company and your patio layer will work in tandem to ensure compliance with all guidelines and rules.

You should have no problems with the skip hire process if your drive or garden has an area where one could be sited. You could always converse with your nearby neighbours if you've only got on street parking or no suitable area, and ask whether they could leave you some space close to the work area where you can put it. A skip licence (or permit) from your local authority will be essential before standing a skip on any main road or public highway in Honiton. However, if your skip is stood entirely on private property (such as a driveway or garden) a permit won't be needed. Enquire whether you need a permit at your local authority office. You can then be certain that the placement of the skip won't be an issue.

With pretty much anything from skip bags and mini-skips right up to huge roll-on, roll-off versions and builders skips, there are a variety of skip sizes that you can rent in Honiton. To obtain a price for hiring a skip in Honiton GO HERE.
