Sanderstead homeowners often want paving that looks refined yet stands up to family life and entertaining. Limestone delivers that balance, with natural variation and a clean, contemporary feel. We regularly install patios and pathways near Sanderstead Recreation Ground and around CR2 properties where outdoor space is a real feature. Expect accurate levels, neat edging and a finish that complements planting and lighting.
The Sanderstead area is known for large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, many with generous rear gardens. We design limestone layouts to suit wider terraces, garden rooms and pool-style planting schemes, while keeping transitions safe and practical. Clients in Purley and Hamsey Green often choose limestone to modernise older brickwork and create a brighter, more usable patio. Every design is scaled to the property and how you use the space.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear specification for sub-base, falls and drainage. We use professional bedding and jointing methods to reduce movement and staining, then offer sealing to protect against weathering and spills. Work is typically completed in 3–5 days with tidy workmanship and respectful site management. Local homeowners trust us for consistent communication, detailed finishes and a patio that performs year after year.
We’re experienced with limestone paving in London Borough of Croydon, where sloping plots and mature gardens are common. In Sanderstead, access can be tight on some driveways, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. Ground conditions vary, so we build robust sub-bases and set correct falls to protect the patio through wet winters. Finishes are chosen to suit the architecture and scale of CR2 homes.

For limestone paving sanderstead area projects, expect around £90–£160 per square metre depending on stone grade, thickness, finish, and the complexity of cuts, steps or edging. Typical total budgets are often £3,500–£8,000 for an average patio once excavation, sub-base, bedding, jointing and waste removal are included. Sealing and drainage adjustments can add to the overall cost.
Most limestone patios take 3–5 days on site, assuming reasonable access and dry working conditions. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, building retaining edges, installing steps, or correcting levels for drainage. Larger formats and intricate patterns also take longer due to cutting and alignment. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the survey and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, garden patios are permitted development and won’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working near boundaries, trees or listed buildings. For drive areas, permeable drainage requirements may apply. We’ll advise on best practice and check any Croydon-specific considerations before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our limestone paving installations. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base construction or incorrect bedding and jointing methods, provided the patio is used normally and maintained sensibly. Natural stone itself can vary in tone and veining, which is part of its character. We’ll also explain aftercare, including optional sealing and cleaning guidance.
Popular choices include Blue Limestone for a modern look, Grey Limestone for understated elegance, and Cream Limestone to brighten shaded gardens. We can supply tumbled finishes for a softer, more traditional feel, or honed finishes for a smooth, contemporary surface. We’ll help you choose slab size, laying pattern and edging details to suit your property, then recommend sealing based on usage and exposure.
