Mitcham homeowners love limestone for its clean, premium look and comfortable underfoot feel. We install patios and paths that suit gardens around Mitcham Common and the quieter plots near Figges Marsh. Whether you want a modern entertaining space or a traditional courtyard feel, we’ll recommend the right stone, finish and laying pattern. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep access safe and tidy.
Our team is based just 10 minutes away, so you get responsive service and reliable scheduling. We regularly work on Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates across CR4, each with different levels, drainage needs and access constraints. Limestone can be detailed neatly around bay windows, side returns and garden steps typical of older homes. For newer builds, we can create larger-format layouts for a sharper, contemporary finish.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear specification, then prepare a proper sub-base for stability and drainage. Your limestone is laid with accurate falls, clean joint lines and careful edge restraints, then finished with optional sealing to reduce staining and weathering. We keep you informed daily, protect surrounding lawns and borders, and leave the site clean. Local clients choose us for dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We’re used to the mix of access and parking restrictions around Mitcham Junction station and residential streets in the London Borough of Merton. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to achieve a stable, free-draining finish. Where gardens sit lower than the house, we design falls and drainage to move water away from walls. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to keep neighbours and driveways clear.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In the Mitcham area, limestone paving typically ranges from £90–£160 per square metre depending on stone grade, thickness, finish and the amount of groundwork required. Most patio projects come in around £3,500–£8,000, influenced by access, excavation, drainage, edging and steps. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit and discuss options to suit your budget without compromising the base.
Most limestone patio installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and settled weather. Timescales can extend if there’s significant excavation, old concrete to break out, extra drainage to install, or lots of cuts around manholes and existing features. Larger areas, intricate patterns and multiple steps also add time. We’ll provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated as the job progresses.
Most garden patios are permitted development and don’t need planning permission, but rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working near boundaries and listed features. For front gardens, you may need to ensure water drains to a permeable area rather than the public highway. We’ll advise on practical compliance and can help you check any relevant London Borough of Merton guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate base preparation, loose edging and joint failure due to installation defects. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and may weather over time, which is normal, but we’ll advise on sealing and maintenance to reduce staining and algae. If a problem arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
Popular choices include Blue Limestone for a bold, contemporary look, Grey Limestone for a softer modern finish, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. You can also choose a tumbled finish for a more traditional, aged character or a honed finish for a smooth, refined surface. We’ll help you select slab sizes, laying patterns and edging details, and recommend sealing based on how you use the space.
