Indian sandstone is a favourite in SW18 for its natural colour variation and timeless finish. Whether you’re creating a dining patio near Wandsworth Common or a neat side-return path in Earlsfield, we design and lay stonework that looks sharp and drains properly. Our team handles the full build, from excavation to pointing and sealing. The result is a surface that feels premium underfoot and stays attractive year-round.
Homes across Wandsworth Town and East Hill range from Victorian and Edwardian houses with compact gardens to modern riverside apartments needing clean, low-maintenance terraces. We plan layouts that work with narrow access, existing steps, and typical London garden levels. Edging details, thresholds and drainage are set out to complement period brickwork or contemporary finishes. Every project is tailored so the paving looks like it belongs to the property, not an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss use (seating, BBQ, bins, side access) and agree a pattern and pointing style. Installation includes a proper sub-base, calibrated stone for consistent levels, and careful jointing to reduce movement and weed ingress. You’ll get clear communication, tidy working practices, and a finish we’re proud to put our name to. Fine Landscaping is based 20 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up are straightforward.
In the indian sandstone in London Borough of Wandsworth, we often deal with mixed ground and older garden walls, so we build robust sub-bases and manage levels carefully. Parking and access around SW18 can be tight, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to keep disruption down. For Victorian terraces, we pay close attention to damp-proof course levels and step heights. Where needed, we incorporate drainage details to help patios cope with heavy rain.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For most projects, Indian sandstone installation in the Wandsworth area typically falls between £80 and £130 per square metre, depending on stone choice, pattern complexity, and the amount of excavation required. A typical patio or combined patio-and-path job often totals around £3,000 to £6,500. Costs can rise if access is difficult, levels need reworking, or extra drainage and steps are included.
Most Indian sandstone patio or pathway installs take around 3–5 days, assuming reasonable access and straightforward levels. The timeline depends on the size of the area, how much old paving or soil must be removed, and whether we’re building steps, retaining edges, or drainage channels. Weather can also affect pointing and sealing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site survey and measurements.
In many cases, garden patios and paths are permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. Surface water drainage is also important, especially for front gardens. We’ll advise on the basics and help you check any London Borough of Wandsworth requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for Indian sandstone installations, covering issues such as lifting, rocking or joint failure caused by installation faults. It’s based on the patio or path being used normally and not being altered by other trades. Natural stone will weather over time, which is expected, but our build method focuses on stable sub-bases, correct falls, and durable pointing to minimise problems.
Indian sandstone comes in a wide range of tones, including Raj Green, Autumn Brown, Fossil Mint and soft greys that suit both period homes and modern flats. We can lay it in random-length, coursed, or more formal pattern designs, with options for borders and contrasting edging. Calibrated stone helps achieve clean levels, especially for dining areas. We’ll bring samples and guide you on colour, slip resistance and maintenance.
