Those generous Victorian and Edwardian plots throughout CR8 deserve outdoor spaces that match their character. Indian sandstone, with its natural variations and earthy palette, creates patios that feel like they've always belonged there. From Kandla Grey's subtle elegance to Raj Green's rich depth, each stone tells its own story while standing up to everything from summer barbecues to winter frost.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference on Purley's clay-heavy soil. Full excavation, Type 1 MOT sub-base compacted in layers, then a sharp sand bed - that's what keeps your patio level for decades, not months. Each sandstone slab gets individually bedded on a full mortar base, joints pointed with polymeric compound that flexes with seasonal movement yet resists weeds. No shortcuts when you're building something meant to outlast the mortgage.
Twenty-three years laying patios from Kenley to Coulsdon means knowing exactly how each stone type performs in our specific microclimate. Local knowledge counts when you're dealing with Surrey's notorious drainage quirks and those mature tree roots that seem to find their way everywhere.

Absolutely - from the period properties near Purley Cross right through to modern developments in Sanderstead. Regular projects throughout CR8, plus neighbouring Kenley and Coulsdon.
Weather permitting, most Purley patios complete within 8-12 working days. Larger designs or those requiring significant levelling might stretch to three weeks.
Every patio carries our decade-long installation warranty covering workmanship and structural integrity. The natural stone itself, properly sealed and maintained, should grace your garden for generations.
Fossil Mint and Autumn Brown complement traditional brickwork beautifully, while Kandla Grey offers striking contemporary contrast. Happy to bring samples to your property - seeing stones against your actual brickwork in natural light makes choosing much easier.
