Those cracked paving stones behind your Victorian terrace won't fix themselves. Earlsfield's clay soil shifts constantly, and winter frost has probably done a number on your patio joints.

Patio problems in SW18 tend to follow patterns. Clay movement beneath those narrow Earlsfield gardens causes slabs to rock and mortar to crack. Add decades of London weather, tree roots from neighbouring plots, and the occasional DIY mishap, and you've got surfaces that need proper attention. Smart homeowners tackle these issues before water damage spreads underneath.
Repairing patios involves more than slapping fresh cement between stones. First comes lifting affected slabs carefully to check what's happening below. Sometimes it's simple settlement requiring fresh bedding sand. Other times drainage channels need creating to stop pooling water that's been undermining your foundations. Each Earlsfield property throws up different challenges based on its original construction methods.
