Porcelain paving built for cars
Porcelain gives a clean, contemporary look with even colour and very little upkeep. It resists staining, does not need sealing and keeps its colour well.
Porcelain is hard but brittle if the base moves, so a porcelain drive needs a rigid, reinforced concrete base and a full bed of mortar under every slab. We only lay paving that is suitable for driveway use.

Why choose Nice & Tidy
Why choose us for a porcelain driveway
Porcelain on a drive leaves no room for shortcuts. We build the base and bedding to suit vehicle loads, not a patio.
Rigid base
A reinforced concrete base stops the slabs flexing under the weight of a car.
Full bedding
Every slab is fully bedded and primed so it bonds and does not crack.
Drainage designed in
Porcelain is not permeable, so falls and channels deal with the rain.

We help with slab size, colour and layout to suit your house.

How we carry out the work
How we lay a porcelain driveway
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Groundwork
We dig out, lay and compact the sub-base and plan where the water will drain.
Concrete base
A reinforced concrete base is poured to give the rigid support porcelain needs.
Lay the slabs
Each primed slab is bedded on a full mortar bed, checked for level and laid to the pattern you chose.
Point and clean
Joints are filled with a suitable compound or mortar and the surface is cleaned down.
