Penge homeowners face unique challenges when planning outdoor improvements. Between the railway lines and those characterful period properties, garden access can be tricky. Years of working between Anerley Station and Crystal Palace Park have taught us exactly how to navigate narrow side returns and work within the constraints of terraced housing. Local knowledge matters when you're manoeuvring materials through century-old alleyways.
Modern patio construction involves careful ground preparation, especially given the London clay prevalent across SE20. Proper drainage channels prevent pooling - crucial when you're dealing with Penge's occasional downpours. Material selection ranges from natural sandstone to contemporary porcelain, each requiring specific installation techniques. The substrate preparation alone can determine whether your patio lasts five years or fifty.
Every street from Maple Road to Penge High Street has seen our handiwork over the past decade. Neighbours talk, particularly in areas like Beckenham borders where gardens back onto each other. That word-of-mouth reputation keeps us honest and our standards consistently high.

Victorian terrace gardens in SE20 typically range 6-10 metres wide. Basic paving starts around £2,500-£3,500, whilst premium stone installations with proper drainage run £4,500-£8,000. Corner plots near Crystal Palace might reach £10,000+ given their larger footprints.
Absolutely - from the Conservation Area near St John's Church right through to the Beckenham boundaries. Regular projects span the entire SE20 district, including those tucked-away streets behind Penge East Station.
Smaller terraced gardens typically see completion within 5-7 working days. Larger Victorian properties or complex drainage situations might stretch to 10-12 days. Weather permitting, naturally - though we work through most conditions.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against settlement or structural issues. This encompasses both workmanship and materials, giving peace of mind whether you're staying put or considering future property sales. Documentation provided suits estate agent requirements too.
Often, yes - particularly useful in Penge where many gardens have old air raid shelter foundations or previous DIY attempts. Assessment determines whether existing concrete provides adequate support or needs breaking out. Sometimes incorporating what's there saves considerable expense whilst achieving excellent results.
