Catford gardens deserve hardwearing paving that looks smart year-round, from summer barbecues to wet winter footfall. We install Indian sandstone patios and pathways across SE6, including jobs near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. Expect clean edges, consistent levels, and a finish that complements your home. Calibrated stone helps us achieve a neat, even surface without awkward lipping.
Local homes in Catford range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different access and garden layouts. We regularly work in Hither Green, Bellingham, Downham and Grove Park, adapting designs to narrow side returns, stepped thresholds, and shared boundaries. Where gardens are compact, we plan joint lines and patterns to make the space feel wider. For larger plots, we can zone areas for dining, planting and circulation.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, drainage and how you use the space, then we confirm the colour blend, laying pattern and edging details. We build a stable sub-base, lay calibrated sandstone accurately, and finish with professional pointing and optional sealing for easier maintenance. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and reliable scheduling—Catford is around 25 minutes from our Norbury base. You’ll also get aftercare advice so the patio keeps its colour and grip.
Ground conditions across the London Borough of Lewisham can vary, so we tailor the sub-base depth and compaction to suit each garden. Many Catford streets have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for changes in level common around older terraces and extensions, ensuring falls direct water away from the house. If you’re near Lewisham Theatre or busy routes, we schedule work to keep access practical.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Indian sandstone in the Catford area, typical supply-and-install costs are around £80–£130 per square metre, depending on stone grade, thickness, access and the amount of groundwork needed. Most homeowners spend roughly £3,000–£6,500 for a standard patio or patio-and-path package. Extras such as steps, drainage adjustments, intricate pattern designs, or sealing can move the total up or down.
Most Indian sandstone patio or pathway projects take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and normal weather. Timescales can extend if we’re removing thick concrete, correcting significant level issues, adding steps or drainage, or laying complex patterns. Smaller paths may be quicker, while larger patios with multiple zones take longer. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after measuring up and checking the site conditions.
In many cases, garden patios and paths are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, working near boundaries, or if the property has restrictions (for example, certain flats or managed estates). We’ll advise on best practice for water run-off and can help you check any London Borough of Lewisham requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our Indian sandstone installations. This covers issues linked to installation, such as sub-base failure, movement due to poor preparation, or jointing problems caused by workmanship. Like all natural stone, sandstone can weather and change tone over time, which isn’t a defect. We’ll also give aftercare guidance on cleaning, resealing intervals, and preventing staining.
We offer multiple Indian sandstone colour blends, including warm buff tones, greys, and mixed colour ranges that suit both traditional and modern gardens. Popular pattern options include random coursed, single-size, and geometric layouts with contrasting borders. We can also design matching pathways and step treads for a cohesive look. During the site visit, we’ll show samples and recommend options based on light levels, planting, and your property style.
