Picture this: golden sandstone catching the afternoon sun in your CR7 garden, creating that perfect spot for summer barbecues. Indian sandstone transforms ordinary back gardens into something rather special, particularly here in Thornton Heath where Victorian terraces meet modern living.

Those compact gardens typical of Thornton Heath's residential streets deserve materials that make every square metre count. Indian sandstone brings warmth and character that suits both the period properties near Brigstock Road and newer developments around London Road. Natural variations in colour mean each patio tells its own story, with fossil patterns and mineral veins creating genuinely unique surfaces.
Proper groundwork makes all the difference when dealing with CR7's London clay soil. First comes excavation to a depth of 250mm, followed by a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base that prevents future movement. The sandstone slabs themselves require careful calibration - each piece measured and laid on a full mortar bed to ensure perfect drainage away from your property. Joint pointing with breathable compounds allows for natural expansion while keeping weeds at bay.
Twenty years of creating outdoor spaces across South London means understanding what works where. From tricky slopes in South Norwood to waterlogged patches near Selhurst Park, every challenge has a solution that doesn't compromise on aesthetics.

Most Thornton Heath properties see costs between £85-120 per square metre, depending on access and existing ground conditions. A standard 25m² patio usually falls within £2,125-3,000 complete.
Absolutely - from the conservation area near Grange Park through to Broad Green's busier streets. Regular projects throughout CR7, plus neighbouring Selhurst and South Norwood.
Typical CR7 gardens take 4-6 days from breaking ground to final seal application. Weather permitting, of course - we schedule around forecasts to ensure proper curing.
Each project carries decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. Natural stone durability means most patios outlast their warranty by decades when properly maintained.
Brilliantly - the stone's natural texture provides grip even when wet, while proper installation ensures water runs off efficiently. Sealed joints prevent pooling, keeping your patio useable year-round.
