Cheam's Victorian and Edwardian properties deserve patios with character. Indian sandstone brings that perfect blend of durability and natural charm to complement period homes throughout SM2 and SM3. The stone's unique fossil patterns and warm tones create outdoor spaces that feel established from day one. Local gardens benefit from sandstone's excellent drainage properties, particularly useful given our clay-heavy soil.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference with natural stone. First, excavation depth depends on your garden's existing levels - typically 250mm for most Cheam properties. Sharp sand bedding ensures each slab sits perfectly level, while careful pointing prevents winter frost damage. The natural variation in thickness requires skilled hands to achieve that seamless finish Surrey homeowners expect.
Twenty years laying patios between Worcester Park and Ewell means knowing exactly which sandstone suits each garden. Local knowledge matters when matching stone colours to existing brickwork or choosing textures that won't become slippery under Cheam's famous plane trees.

Most patios in SM2 and SM3 range from £2,800 to £6,500, depending on access through side returns and the grade of sandstone selected. Raj Green tends to be more economical than Fossil Mint.
Absolutely - from North Cheam's spacious plots near Nonsuch Park to the compact terraces around Cheam station. Regular projects in both SM2 and SM3 postcodes, plus neighbouring Sutton and Ewell.
A standard 30m² patio typically takes 4-6 days from breaking ground to final seal. Larger installations or those requiring significant levelling might extend to 8-10 days.
Each installation includes our decade-long guarantee covering both materials and workmanship. This protects against settling, pointing failure, and ensures your sandstone remains beautiful through ten British winters.
Natural weathering actually enhances Indian sandstone's character. Initial vibrant colours mellow slightly in the first year, developing a distinguished patina. Regular cleaning maintains appearance without harsh chemicals.
