Grey porcelain patio and footpath in Tooting
Oana's back garden in Tooting got a new porcelain patio and a path to the garage. We supplied and laid around 20m² of grey 60x90 porcelain, built a new wall and clad it in the same paving, fitted a new manhole cover and laid the patio so water drains away towards the garden. A small footpath now runs down to the garage. Four days, £5,000 including VAT, all in.

Where we started
The brief
Oana wanted a clean, modern patio behind the house in Tooting, with a proper path down to the garage.
The patio needed to shed water away from the house towards the garden, and the existing manhole needed a new cover that sits neatly in the paving. It is typical of the smaller patios in Tooting we lay.

Questions
About small porcelain patios
Thinking about something similar? These are the questions we hear most.
How much does a small porcelain patio cost in Tooting?
Oana's 20m² patio in Tooting SW17 cost £5,000 including VAT, covering grey 60x90 porcelain, a new wall clad in the same paving, a new manhole cover and a footpath to the garage, done in four days.
Which way should a patio slope?
A patio should always fall away from the house so rain runs off. Here it was laid to drain towards the garden.
Can a wall be clad in the same porcelain as the patio?
Yes. Cladding a wall in the patio porcelain, as here, gives a matching, built-in look.
What happens to a manhole when you pave over it?
Drains must stay accessible, so a new cover is fitted at the finished paving level.
Do you lay patios near Tooting?
Yes, including Balham, Streatham, Earlsfield and Wimbledon. See all our landscape gardeners in Tooting.
