Service
Commercial Block Paving in Kent, Essex, London and the Home Counties
Brett approved block paving for car parks, forecourts, estate roads and yards, laid to specification and built to carry traffic for decades.
What is included in our commercial block paving service?
Distinctive Paving is a Brett Approved Paving Contractor laying commercial block paving across Kent, Essex, London and the Home Counties. We install herringbone, stretcher bond and permeable systems for housebuilders, developers, main contractors and public sector clients.
Our crews lay 280,000m²+ of paving and surfacing every year, ten years after the business was founded in 2016, backed by more than 25 years of hands on experience in hard landscaping. That volume means we know how a block paved car park, forecourt or estate road behaves under real loads, and we build the sub base, bedding and edge restraint to suit.
Every commercial scheme starts with the specification. We work from your drawings and the manufacturer's guidance, confirm levels and falls, and programme the works around your other trades so the site keeps moving. Herringbone patterns at 45 or 90 degrees are our standard for trafficked areas because they lock together and resist creep under turning vehicles.
Where drainage needs to be managed on site, we install permeable block paving as part of a sustainable drainage (SuDS) design, with the correct open graded sub base so rainwater soaks through rather than running off.
