Multiprint Driveways

Block Paving or Imprinted Concrete

Frequently, driveway and patio options in Kent and South-East London are coming down to two main contenders. These contenders are block paving and imprinted concrete. Both driveway ideas attempt to achieve the same results, but you will have a heavier bill at the end of one of them. So, how can you weigh up the pros and cons of each approach?

Know Your Needs

When it comes to weighing up whether you need block paving or imprinted concrete, you need to determine your own needs and requirements. Whether you’re looking for a new driveway in Bexley, or a replacement patio in Bromley, understanding what you’re looking for can help you decide. So, time to ask yourself some basic questions.

Multiprint Driveways – Finding the Perfect Solution
What Look Am I After?

First of all, throw all your initial ideas about concrete out in the skip! Multiprint driveways and patios are simply not the same beast as concrete driveways and patios of yesteryear. A pattern imprinted concrete driveway is altogether different from the uniform, cracking and unsightly concrete driveways of the 1970s and 1980s.

Instead, whether you want a rich red brick appearance or a pristine clay finish, you can obtain both with concrete. Yes, that’s right, you can choose your finish with concrete in the same way you can with block paving!

What Maintenance Will I Have?

Driveways can quickly become a headache for the proud homeowner. With block paving it’s usually not long before you’re looking at regular weed-killing commitments, as well as an ongoing effort to level-out blocks. As long as you’ve opted for a professional and experienced imprinted concrete installer, such as Multiprint Driveways, then you can be sure long-term maintenance will be considerably reduced.

What Will My Driveway or Patio Set Me Back?

Cost is an important factor when it comes to laying a new driveway. Whilst of course it is an investment in the overall look and functionality of your home, you need to be certain you are getting a high-quality affordable driveway. Driveway ideas and patio ideas can represent a large investment.

Typically, Multiprint Driveways and Patios will cost you considerably less than the block paving counterpart. So, imprinted concrete is the affordable way of achieving a luxury look.

What Will Installation Involve?

Perhaps one of the biggest differences between block paving and imprinted concrete is the vast difference in installation. With block paving you can typically expect your driveway and access to be out of action for a prolonged period of time. To be sure you’re getting a high-quality product you will need extensive groundworks and levelling.

However, with pattern imprinted concrete driveways you’ll have expert eyes on the ground, ascertaining any piping and utility requirements. This will then be followed by a super-speedy installation process and the setting of your new driveway. Minimal disruption, minimal fuss!

What About Long-Term Repairs?

Block paving businesses will frequently extol the virtues of block paving when it comes to repairs. However, pattern-imprinted concrete is more uniform than block paving. As long as you have selected professional, experienced specialists for concrete driveways and patios, you simply won’t have the same repair needs that typical block paving supplies. We’re so sure of this that we even offer a guarantee!

We chose and contacted Multiprint to complete our driveway after a bit of researching online. Ronnie and his team were responsive, well organised and diligently respectful of the job in hand and equally our neighbours. I really cannot fault the whole process from quote to finish. Our driveway was laid in one day, and we were well informed of each stage while completion was effortlessly managed in the timeframe advised on quote. The driveway complements our home and is of a very high standard. We feel very privileged to now own a beautiful front driveway. Thanks very much Ronnie please pass on our regards to your team too!

Very happy with our new driveway from the Multiprint team! We had some complex requirements with our driveway but we got good advice from the team to come up with a solution we're really satisfied with. We spoke with several of Ronnie's team through the job including Lee, Darren and Ben. All were really helpful, took time to explain what they were doing, helped us make decisions and did a good job on their respective tasks. Great to see a local business doing so well and with such a good work ethos! Highly recommend.

We couldn’t be happier with Ronnie, his team and the finished driveway. Since contacting Multiprint, Ronnie came to quote promptly when he said he would, he explained the process to us along with timescales. Ronnie helped us pick designs and colours - we even visited a few finished driveways to help choose and saw the quality in person. We received everything as promised and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Multiprint - the team were all polite, helpful and did a fantastic job! Thank you all.

Very happy with the work Ronnie and the gang at Multiprint did for me I had a cobblestone effect printed drive installed . I was surprised at how many people were involved in the installation , all of who were very helpful and informative , considering this I felt the price was very reasonable . The glossy brochure left with me at the start was full of all the information you needed as to how the work would commence . Very professional and would definitely use again .
