Those Victorian terraces around Old Coulsdon Road weren't built with composite decking in mind. Indian sandstone brings authentic character that matches period properties whilst delivering modern practicality. The natural variations in Raj Green or Kandla Grey complement everything from cottage gardens to contemporary extensions, creating outdoor rooms that feel as considered as your interior spaces.
Each sandstone slab arrives with its own geological fingerprint - subtle fossil traces and mineral veining that took millions of years to form. Proper installation on Coulsdon's clay-heavy ground requires specific drainage solutions to prevent the seasonal movement common in Surrey. Full mortar bedding combined with permeable pointing compounds ensures your patio handles both July heatwaves and January frosts without shifting or staining.
Twenty years laying stone across the North Downs means understanding which grades withstand Chipstead Valley's morning frosts. Local knowledge matters when you're investing in surfaces that should outlive your mortgage.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Mid-sized patios (30-40m²) using quality Indian sandstone generally range £4,500-£7,000 including groundwork. Raj Green tends toward the lower end, whilst premium fossil mint commands higher prices.
Absolutely - from Farthing Downs to Kenley Aerodrome, covering all CR5 postcodes. Regular projects in Purley, Chipstead and Caterham mean efficient material deliveries.
Most Coulsdon gardens need 8-12 days from excavation to final seal, weather permitting. Larger terraced layouts or complex drainage might extend this slightly.
Decade-long coverage on both materials and groundwork - protecting against settlement, pointing failure and stone defects. Includes annual inspection visits if requested.
Natural riven surfaces provide excellent grip even when wet. The textured finish actually improves with weathering, unlike smooth alternatives that can become hazardous.
