Porcelain, natural stone, block paving and gravel patios, laid on a proper base with steps, walls and drainage, across Surrey and Berkshire. Fully insured, with a free written quote first.
Paving materials
-
Porcelain, sandstone, limestone, granite and concrete all behave differently underfoot and in frost, so we show you samples laid outside, wet.
-
Slip resistance and colour checked against where the patio actually sits, because shade and damp change both.
-
Laying patterns set out on site first, so cuts land in sensible places and full slabs face the house and the doors.
-
Jointing in brush-in or slurry mortar to suit the slab, which is what stops weeds and keeps the joints intact.
Base and drainage
-
The base is what fails, not the slab, so we dig a trial hole and build the sub-base to suit the ground under your garden.
-
Full mortar bed under every slab rather than five dabs, because dabs are why patios rock and crack.
-
Falls set to run water away from the house, with a channel drain or soakaway where needed.
-
Paving kept 150mm below the damp-proof course, so it cannot bridge damp into your wall.
Steps and walls
-
Steps, retaining walls and raised patios built to hold what is behind them, with risers kept even so nobody trips on an odd one.
-
Edges restrained on haunching, since an unrestrained edge is where a patio starts to creep and drop.
-
Lighting and cable runs buried in ducting before the paving goes down, rather than chased in afterwards and made good.
-
Spoil taken away as muckaway and the patio washed off, so you get a finished garden, not a site.
