Bromley's mix of period properties and newer builds each brings unique patio challenges. Those original 1930s concrete slabs in Sundridge often crack along old settlement lines. Meanwhile, modern limestone patios in Bickley can suffer from poor initial drainage installation. Local clay soil doesn't help matters either – it expands and contracts with the seasons, pushing paving out of alignment.
Fixing a patio properly means understanding what went wrong initially. Lifting affected slabs reveals the story underneath – inadequate sub-base depth, missing membrane, or water pooling against the house. Proper repairs involve rebuilding from the ground up where needed, installing correct drainage channels, and re-laying with appropriate falls. Small patches might need just localised attention, whilst extensive movement requires complete reconstruction of the affected zones.
Twenty-three years working on Bromley patios teaches you which problems crop up where. Experience with everything from compact courtyards in Shortlands to sprawling entertainment areas near Jubilee Country Park means recognising issues fast and fixing them once.
