General Questions
Learn more about our services, pricing, and process
The cost of a patio installation varies depending on several factors
including size, materials chosen, site preparation required, and
design complexity. On average, patios range from £2,000 for a basic
small patio to £10,000+ for larger, more complex installations with
premium materials. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know
exactly what to expect with no hidden costs.
Most patio installations take between 3-7 days to complete,
depending on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller patios
may be completed in 2-3 days, while larger or more intricate designs
may take up to 2 weeks. During your consultation, we'll provide a
realistic timeline and keep you updated throughout the entire
process.
We work with a wide range of materials including natural stone,
porcelain paving, concrete slabs, block paving, and composite
decking. The best choice depends on your budget, style preferences,
and practical needs. Natural stone offers timeless beauty, porcelain
is low-maintenance and durable, while concrete provides excellent
value. We'll help you choose the perfect material during your free
consultation.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for patio
installations as they fall under "permitted development." However,
there are exceptions if your property is listed, in a conservation
area, or if the patio raises ground level significantly. We can
advise you on your specific situation and help with any necessary
permissions during your consultation.

While patio installations can be carried out year-round, spring and
summer are typically the most popular times. However, autumn and
winter installations are perfectly viable and often mean shorter
waiting times. We work in all weather conditions (unless extreme)
and take necessary precautions to ensure quality isn't compromised.

Maintenance & Care
Tips for keeping your patio looking beautiful for years to come
Regular maintenance is simple! Sweep your patio regularly to remove
debris, wash with soapy water occasionally, and treat any weeds that
appear between joints. We recommend re-sealing natural stone patios
every 2-3 years to maintain their appearance and protect against
staining. We'll provide detailed care instructions specific to your
chosen materials after installation.
A professionally installed patio with quality materials can last
20-25 years or more with proper maintenance. Natural stone patios
often last even longer, sometimes 50+ years. The longevity depends
on material choice, installation quality, and ongoing maintenance.
Our expert installation ensures your patio will stand the test of
time.
Yes! We offer patio repair and restoration services including
re-leveling sunken areas, replacing damaged slabs, re-jointing,
cleaning, and sealing. Sometimes a repair or refresh is all that's
needed to bring your patio back to life. We'll assess your existing
patio and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
We carefully select materials with appropriate slip resistance
ratings for outdoor use. Textured and riven finishes provide better
grip than smooth surfaces. We'll recommend the safest options for
your needs, especially if you have children or elderly family
members. Proper drainage also helps prevent water pooling and
reduces slip risk.
Absolutely! After installation, we provide comprehensive care
instructions specific to your materials. We're always available to
answer questions or address concerns. Many of our customers return
to us for ongoing maintenance services, seasonal cleaning, or future
landscaping projects. We're here for the long term.
