Hayes (BR2) suits Indian sandstone beautifully, especially where gardens back onto greener outlooks near Hayes Common or West Common. We install sandstone patios for dining areas, family spaces and garden rooms, plus practical pathway paving to connect gates, sheds and side access. With multiple colours available, we can match period brickwork, painted render or modern extensions. Every installation is finished with neat pointing and optional sealing for easier maintenance.
Local homes range from large detached houses and period cottages to well-kept 1930s properties, each with different levels, drainage needs and access constraints. In the indian sandstone Hayes (Bromley) area, we often design patios that soften the transition between older gardens and newer rear extensions. For wider plots around West Wickham and Bromley Common, larger-format slabs and sweeping patterns can look particularly balanced. Where gardens are compact, we use layout and colour choice to keep spaces feeling open.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space, then provide a clear written quote. Our team excavates properly, builds a stable sub-base, lays calibrated stone to consistent falls, and finishes with durable pointing. We keep the site tidy, protect borders, and communicate daily so there are no surprises. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high-end finishes, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Across Hayes and the wider London Borough of Bromley, gardens can include clay-heavy soil and mature tree roots near commons, which affects excavation depth and drainage. We plan falls carefully, use the right sub-base build-up, and adjust jointing to suit exposure and shade. Access and parking can be tighter near Hayes station, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our approach fits the character of BR2 properties, from cottages to larger detached homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Indian sandstone in Hayes (Bromley), most homeowners budget £80–£130 per square metre installed, depending on slab grade, thickness, site access and the amount of groundwork required. Typical total project costs are often £3,000–£6,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path scheme. Extras such as steps, drainage channels, intricate patterns, or premium sealing can increase the overall spend.
Most Indian sandstone patios and pathways take around 3–5 days, depending on size, excavation depth and how much cutting is needed for edges and patterns. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, building steps, or improving drainage and levels. Weather also plays a part, particularly for pointing and sealing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, patios and garden pathways are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, affecting drainage, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. We also consider SuDS guidance for surface water run-off. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if you should check with Bromley Council.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our Indian sandstone installations, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base construction, loose edging, or pointing failures due to installation defects. It doesn’t cover damage from third-party work, misuse, ground movement beyond reasonable control, or lack of routine care. We’ll explain maintenance, including cleaning and resealing intervals, so your patio stays looking its best.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of blends, including warm buff, grey, autumn tones and more contemporary darker mixes. We can install classic single-size layouts, random patterns, or more structured designs such as coursed paving with borders. Calibrated stone helps achieve clean levels and consistent joints. We’ll bring samples, discuss your home’s brickwork and garden style, and recommend a layout that suits your space and budget.
