Porcelain, natural stone, block paving and gravel patios, laid on a proper base with steps, walls and drainage, across Esher and Elmbridge. Fully insured, with a free written quote first.
Patio surfaces
-
Porcelain, sandstone, limestone, granite and concrete all weather and grip differently, so we wet samples on site before anything is ordered.
-
Colour and slip rating are checked where the patio goes, because a shaded damp corner changes both of them.
-
Patterns are set out on the ground first so full slabs run up to the house and cuts finish somewhere discreet.
-
Joints finished in brush-in or slurry mortar according to the slab, keeping them solid and free of weeds.
Base and water
-
Much of Esher sits on London Clay, which holds water and moves, so the sub-base is dug and built to suit that ground.
-
Full mortar beds under every slab, not dabs, because dabbed slabs are the ones that rock and crack later.
-
Falls carry water clear of the house, with a channel drain or soakaway where the ground will not take it.
-
Finished levels stay 150mm below the damp-proof course so paving cannot bridge damp inside.
Raised patios
-
Retaining walls, steps and raised patios built to hold what is behind them, risers even so there is no odd one out.
-
Edge restraint on haunching throughout, as an unrestrained edge is where a patio starts to slip away.
-
Ducting for garden lighting and power goes in before paving, rather than being chased through afterwards.
-
The spoil leaves as muckaway and the patio is washed off, so you get a finished garden handed back.
