Those sprawling Victorian gardens around Hayes Lane deserve more than basic paving slabs. Indian sandstone brings warmth and character that complements West Wickham's leafy charm perfectly.

Behind the hedgerows of BR4, homeowners are discovering how Indian sandstone transforms tired patios into inviting outdoor rooms. The natural colour variations in Raj Green, Kandla Grey and Autumn Brown work beautifully with the mature planting found throughout West Wickham's residential streets. Each stone tells its own story, with fossil imprints and mineral veins creating patterns that mass-produced concrete simply can't match.
Proper installation starts with understanding West Wickham's clay-heavy soil conditions. Full excavation to 250mm allows for MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted in layers, preventing the seasonal movement that plagues so many local patios. Sharp sand bedding creates the perfect foundation, while careful calibration ensures each stone sits level despite natural thickness variations. Polymer-modified pointing resists both frost damage and the inevitable barbecue spillages.
Twenty years laying patios from Coney Hall to Keston means knowing exactly which quarries supply stone that weathers well in BR4's climate. Every installation carries full liability coverage through established trade associations.

Most BR4 properties see costs between £85-120 per square metre installed. A standard 30m² patio runs £2,550-3,600, though intricate patterns or difficult access can increase pricing.
Absolutely - from the Glebe Way estate to properties backing onto Kelsey Park, we've laid patios across West Wickham and into neighbouring Beckenham and Hayes.
Weather permitting, most West Wickham patios take 4-6 days from breaking ground to final seal coating. Larger or complex designs might stretch to 8-10 days.
Every patio carries decade-long protection covering both materials and workmanship. This includes settlement issues, pointing failures and any stone defects that emerge over time.
Kandla Grey complements modern extensions beautifully, while Autumn Brown brings warmth to shaded areas. For traditional properties near the common, Mint fossil sandstone echoes the local Kentish ragstone perfectly.
