If your patio is uneven, tired or slippery, limestone is a smart upgrade that suits Penge’s period homes. We install patios and paths across SE20, including near Penge High Street and Alexandra Recreation Ground. Expect crisp lines, neat edging and drainage that works in real London weather. The result is a clean, premium finish that makes outdoor space easier to use year-round.
Our team works locally, so we understand the mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions common around Penge, Anerley and Crystal Palace. Many gardens here are long and narrow, which benefits from thoughtful setting-out and strong visual lines. We can also match paving tones to brickwork, render and existing boundary walls. Access and storage are planned carefully to keep disruption down.
We start with a site visit, levels check and material samples, then build a proper sub-base and bed for long-term stability. Cuts are kept tidy, falls are set for runoff, and joints are finished for a clean look. We can apply sealing to help reduce staining and weathering, and we leave the site swept and usable. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual crews and consistent workmanship.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and gardens that need careful levelling. Streets around Penge East station can have tighter access and parking considerations, so we plan deliveries and waste removal in advance. We also design layouts that complement period brickwork and smaller patio footprints. This local approach helps keep the job efficient and the finish precise.

For limestone paving in the Penge area, most homeowners budget around £90–£160 per square metre, depending on stone choice, finish and site preparation. Typical projects often fall between £3,500 and £8,000 for a new patio including excavation, sub-base, laying and pointing. Costs can rise with difficult access, extensive drainage work, steps, or bespoke edging details.
Most limestone paving jobs take 3–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, assuming reasonable weather and straightforward access. Larger patios, complex patterns, steps, retaining edges or additional drainage can extend the programme. If we’re working through a narrow side return or need to organise timed deliveries, we’ll plan the sequence to keep the site safe and minimise disruption while maintaining quality.
In many cases, garden patios are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. For front gardens, drainage requirements can also apply to manage surface water. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can advise on compliant drainage solutions.
Yes. Our limestone paving installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including sub-base preparation, laying and jointing, provided the area is used normally and maintained as advised. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and marking, which is part of its character, but we’ll guide you on sealing and cleaning to help protect the surface. Any concerns are handled promptly and professionally.
We supply and install blue limestone, grey limestone and cream limestone, with popular finishes including tumbled (softer, aged edges) and honed (smooth, contemporary look). We’ll help you choose slab size, laying pattern and joint colour to suit your garden and property style. Sealing is available for extra protection, and we can recommend options based on shade, foot traffic and how you use the space.
