Cracked paving stones and wobbly slabs turn gardens into obstacle courses. Carshalton's clay soil shifts beneath patios year after year, creating trip hazards that need proper attention.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces along Carshalton High Street often feature original York stone patios showing their age. Frost damage, root heave from mature trees, and decades of weathering leave these outdoor spaces looking tired. Modern homes near Carshalton Ponds face different challenges - poorly laid Indian sandstone that's lifted after just five years.
Repairing patios involves more than replacing broken slabs. Ground preparation determines longevity - excavating unstable sub-base, installing proper drainage channels, and using flexible pointing compounds that accommodate seasonal movement. Each repair starts with identifying why the original installation failed, particularly important given SM5's notorious London clay.
Twenty years fixing patios across Wallington, Hackbridge and beyond means recognising problems before they worsen. Local knowledge matters when dealing with Carshalton's specific ground conditions.
