Indian sandstone is a standout choice for Purley gardens, giving a natural, premium finish that suits both modern and traditional homes. We install patios, pathway paving and feature areas with clean edges and well-planned falls for drainage. From Purley Cross to Purley Way, we’re used to working on plots of all shapes and access levels. Expect tidy workmanship, practical advice, and a surface that looks better year after year.
The indian sandstone Purley area works especially well with the large detached houses and generous rear gardens found around Purley Oaks, Kenley and Sanderstead. For 1930s properties, we often design layouts that complement existing brickwork and garden levels. Period homes benefit from softer, riven textures and traditional pointing lines. We’ll help you choose colours and patterns that suit your architecture and outdoor lighting.
Our process starts with a site survey, levels check and a clear written specification, so you know exactly what’s included. We build a stable sub-base, lay calibrated stone for consistent thickness, then finish with professional pointing and optional sealing for easier maintenance. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, daily site tidies, and careful protection of lawns and borders. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Purley’s sloping plots near Riddlesdown often need careful level management and discreet retaining details.

As experienced installers of indian sandstone in London Borough of Croydon, we tailor the build-up to local ground conditions and long-term stability.

Most projects in Purley fall between £80–£130 per square metre, depending on stone choice, pattern complexity, access and groundwork. Typical total costs are often £3,000–£6,500 for a patio or combined patio-and-path scheme. Prices can rise if significant excavation, steps, drainage adjustments or extensive pointing repairs are needed. We provide a detailed quote after a site visit and levels check.
A typical Indian sandstone installation takes around 3–5 days, depending on size, access and the amount of groundwork required. Time is usually spent on excavation, sub-base compaction, accurate levelling, laying calibrated slabs, then pointing and clean-down. Weather can affect curing times for mortar and pointing. If you’re adding steps, curves, or multiple pattern zones, we’ll allow extra time and confirm the schedule upfront.
Most garden patios and pathways are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering drainage, raising levels significantly, working near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, permeable drainage requirements are particularly important. We’ll advise on best practice, check the key constraints, and design falls and drainage so the finished paving complies.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for Indian sandstone patios and pathways. This covers issues caused by installation, such as sub-base failure, movement due to inadequate build-up, or pointing defects related to our work. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal weathering of natural stone. We’ll also explain maintenance, sealing options and aftercare so your paving stays stable and looking its best.
Indian sandstone comes in a range of tones, including warm buff, grey, autumn blends and darker multi-colours. We can install classic random-length courses, uniform grids, or more decorative pattern designs to suit patios and pathways. Calibrated stone is recommended for a cleaner finish and consistent levels. We’ll bring samples, discuss how the colour sits with your brickwork and planting, and help you choose a layout that fits your space.
