If you want a patio that suits Cheam’s period charm as well as its larger family gardens, Indian sandstone is a standout choice. We design and install patios and pathway paving across SM2 and SM3, including projects near Cheam Village and Nonsuch Park. With multiple colours and pattern designs available, your new surface can feel traditional or sharply modern. Every installation is finished with clean edges, neat pointing and optional sealing.
Homes in Cheam range from period cottages to 1930s houses and executive homes with generous plots. That variety affects levels, drainage and how a patio connects to the house and lawn. We regularly work in North Cheam, Worcester Park and Ewell, tailoring layouts for side access, garden steps and existing landscaping features. The result is a sandstone area that looks intentional, not “added on”.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss colours, and confirm falls for drainage before any digging begins. Our team builds a proper sub-base, lays calibrated stone accurately, then completes pointing and (if chosen) sealing for easier maintenance. You’ll get clear scheduling, tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. Fine Landscaping backs workmanship with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Cheam gardens often have mixed ground conditions and mature planting, so we plan excavation depth and compaction carefully. In conservation-area streets near Lumley Chapel and around Cheam Village, we’re mindful of access, parking and keeping paths clear. Many properties have narrow side access, so we organise deliveries and cutting areas to minimise disruption. We also set finished levels to work with existing thresholds and drainage routes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Indian sandstone in the Cheam area, most projects fall between £80 and £130 per square metre, depending on stone choice, thickness, edging and the complexity of the pattern. Typical total spends are around £3,000–£6,500 for an average patio or combined patio-and-path. Costs can rise where there’s difficult access, significant excavation, steps, retaining edges or extra drainage work.
Most Indian sandstone installations take 3–5 days, depending on size, access and how much ground preparation is needed. A straightforward patio with good access is usually quicker, while projects with pathways, multiple levels, steps or intricate pattern designs take longer. Weather can also affect progress, particularly during excavation and pointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and measurements.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly or affecting drainage to the public highway. For projects in the indian sandstone in London Borough of Sutton area, we’ll flag any likely constraints and advise when it’s sensible to check with the council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our Indian sandstone installations. This covers issues caused by installation, such as sub-base failure, movement from poor compaction, or problems with pointing where it’s linked to workmanship. Natural variation in stone colour and general wear from use and weather aren’t classed as faults, but we’ll always advise on care. If any concerns arise, we respond quickly and put things right.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of tones, including warm buff, grey, autumn blends and richer browns, with natural variation that suits both traditional and contemporary gardens. We can lay it in random length, coursed patterns, or more formal designs with borders and feature panels. Calibrated stone helps achieve crisp levels and tidy joints. We’ll bring options and help you choose a finish that complements your home and planting.
