Croydon's diverse architecture deserves outdoor spaces that complement its character. From the tree-lined streets of South Croydon to the bustling heart of CR0, Indian sandstone adapts beautifully to every setting. The stone's natural slip resistance handles our unpredictable British weather whilst maintaining its distinctive honey, buff, and grey tones. Each slab tells its own geological story, creating patios as individual as the properties they enhance.
Installation begins with careful excavation to Croydon's clay-heavy soil conditions, followed by a robust sub-base that prevents the seasonal movement common in our area. Precision cutting accommodates those awkward angles found in Victorian garden layouts. Natural drainage channels direct rainfall away from foundations - crucial given the hillside locations throughout CR2. The final jointing uses flexible compounds that tolerate ground movement without cracking.
Twenty years fitting patios from Waddon to Selhurst has taught us every quirk of local gardens. Our installers understand the drainage challenges near the Wandle flood plain and the importance of preserving mature borders in established Croydon gardens.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Budget between £85-120 per square metre including groundwork. A typical 25m² patio for a Croydon semi-detached property ranges from £2,125 to £3,000. Premium fossil or hand-selected stone adds 20-30% to these figures.
Absolutely - from the retail parks of CR0 to the leafy suburbs of CR2, and the Victorian streets of CR7. Regular projects in South Croydon, Waddon, and Selhurst mean we know the local suppliers and access routes thoroughly.
Most Croydon patios complete within 4-6 working days. Larger designs or those requiring significant levelling on sloped plots common in CR2 might extend to 8-10 days. Weather permitting, of course!
Your patio carries our decade-long guarantee covering both materials and workmanship. Indian sandstone naturally weathers beautifully, developing character whilst maintaining structural integrity through frost, rain, and those occasional Croydon heatwaves.
The warm, earthy palette harmonises wonderfully with red London brick, rendered walls, and established planting. Its natural variation means no two patios look identical - perfect for adding personality to Croydon's mix of housing styles. The stone's texture provides subtle contrast against smooth lawns and gravel paths.
