Case study · Wimbledon SW19 · June 2026
Jo's back garden in Wimbledon now has a new porcelain patio in 60 × 90cm slabs, with eco drains connected to the manholes, two new manholes, a fully clad step and a small wall clad in the same porcelain, plus a new footpath down the garden. Five days on site, £6,300 including VAT.
Where we started
Jo wanted the area behind the house in Wimbledon turned into a clean, modern patio, with water draining away properly from the back of the house and an easy route down the garden.
That meant more than laying slabs: the drainage had to be planned with the manholes, the step at the back door and a small wall needed finishing to match, and a new path had to lead down beside the lawn. It is a typical brief for our patios in Wimbledon.
The tricky parts
Step by step
The area was prepared, the eco drains were installed and connected into the manholes, and the two new manholes were set to the finished level.
The 60 × 90cm porcelain pavers were laid across the patio area behind the house.
The back-door step was fully clad, and the small wall was clad in the same porcelain for a matching finish.
A footpath was installed down the garden beside the lawn, and the whole area was cleaned down for handover.
The finished work
Budget
This project came to £6,300 including VAT and took five days, covering the porcelain patio, eco drains connected to the manholes, two new manholes, the clad step and wall, and the new footpath. See our patios in Wimbledon page for other options and prices.

Jo's patio in Wimbledon SW19 came to £6,300 including VAT and took five days, covering 60 × 90cm porcelain, eco drains connected to the manholes, two new manholes, a clad step and wall, and a new footpath. The size of the area and the drainage needed make the biggest difference.
They are slim channel drains set along the edge of a patio. They collect rainwater from the paving and carry it into the drainage system, here connected to the manholes, so water does not pool against the house.
Yes. Cladding the step and small wall in the same porcelain as the patio gives one consistent finish and hides bare concrete or old brickwork.
Yes. Manholes have to stay accessible, so we set the covers to the finished level of the paving, where they sit neatly within the patio.
