Some Projects We've Done in Canterbury
Why Block Paving is Ideal for Canterbury Homes
Canterbury is known for its blend of medieval architecture and busy residential areas. Homeowners here often need a surface that is:
- Visually Consistent: Our range of blocks, from traditional clay to modern tegula, ensures your driveway looks right at home near landmarks like the Canterbury Cathedral or the cobbled streets of the Kings Mile.
- Highly Durable: Perfect for the daily commute and family life, our paving stands up to heavy use without shifting or cracking.
- Maintenance Friendly: If a repair is ever needed, individual blocks can be replaced without lifting the entire driveway.
"I cannot overstate the appreciation we have for George and his company, Pro Resin and Paving. Having provided a very competitive quotation, we worked with George to design and source the paving for our driveway."
- Colin Bell, Canterbury
Our Installation Process in Canterbury

- Sub-base Excellence: We focus on correct base build-up to handle the specific soil conditions found in the Stour Valley area.

- Local Expertise: We manage all levels and falls to ensure proper drainage, keeping your property compliant with local regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a block paving driveway in Canterbury?
In many cases you will not need planning permission for a block paving driveway in Canterbury, as this usually falls under Permitted Development. Permission is typically only required for a non-permeable surface larger than 5 square metres that drains onto the public road, and we can lay your paving with permeable jointing and drainage to help avoid this. Additional rules apply if your property is in a Conservation Area or is a Listed Building, which is common in our historic cathedral city. During our free, no-obligation site visit we will look at your property and advise on anything specific to your street, so you can move ahead with confidence.
How long does a block paving driveway take to install in Canterbury?
A typical block paving driveway in Canterbury takes about 3 to 5 working days to complete, depending on the size of the area and the complexity of the design. Projects that require more excavation to suit the soil conditions found in the Stour Valley, or intricate patterns and edging, may take a little longer. As a family-run business with more than 30 years' experience, we focus on building a correct, stable sub-base rather than rushing the job, because that is what keeps a driveway level and puddle-free for years. We keep you updated throughout, clear all waste and leave your Canterbury property clean and tidy.
