Wallington homeowners increasingly favour Indian sandstone for its remarkable durability against British weather. The stone's natural variations create unique patterns that age beautifully, developing character over years rather than deteriorating like manufactured alternatives. From fossil mint to autumn brown, each slab tells its own geological story while providing practical outdoor living space.
Proper groundwork determines longevity - excavating to correct depths, installing robust sub-bases, and ensuring precise drainage gradients. Each sandstone piece requires individual levelling, with joints carefully pointed using specialised compounds that accommodate natural stone movement. Temperature fluctuations cause minimal expansion, unlike rigid concrete products that crack under Surrey's freeze-thaw cycles. Professional calibration guarantees water runs away from property foundations, preventing those damp issues common in older Wallington homes.
Local knowledge matters when navigating SM6's varied soil conditions and planning restrictions. Years spent working across Carshalton and Purley mean understanding which stone colours complement red-brick Edwardians versus rendered semis, plus managing access through narrow side returns typical of the area.

Expect £85-120 per square metre including groundworks, though complex layouts or poor access can increase costs. A typical 40m² patio ranges £3,400-4,800 complete.
Absolutely - from Roundshaw through to Hackbridge, covering all of SM6 plus neighbouring Coulsdon and Carshalton areas.
Most Wallington gardens need 5-8 working days, weather permitting. Larger installations or those requiring significant ground preparation might extend to two weeks.
Installation carries decade-long coverage against workmanship defects, while quality Indian sandstone itself withstands generations of use when properly laid and maintained.
Natural sandstone provides excellent grip even when wet - its textured surface offers better traction than polished alternatives. Riven finishes particularly suit UK weather conditions.
