Why patios fail
Rocking slabs, hollow-sounding stones and weeds in the joints usually point to a weak base or failed pointing. Repairing the surface without fixing the cause means the problem comes back.
We lift affected slabs, check and rebuild the base where needed, relay on a full bed and repoint. Where a patio has failed throughout, we will tell you honestly when relaying is the better value.
Many Sutton patios from the 1980s and 90s were laid on spot mortar, which is why slabs rock. Relaying on a full bed solves it.

Repair options
We recommend the least work that gives a lasting result.
Repair or replace?
If most slabs are sound and the base is solid, repairs make sense. If the whole patio was laid on a poor base, relaying is usually better value than repeated repairs.

Still deciding? Tell us about your garden and we can talk through the next step.
Read our warranty termsWhy are my patio slabs loose?
Usually because they were laid on spots of mortar or the base has moved.
Can you match my existing slabs in Sutton?
We try to source a close match; with natural stone, weathering will differ at first.
What is the best pointing?
It depends on the paving; we use durable mortars or resin-based compounds where suitable.
How long do repairs take?
Most patio repairs take one to three days.
Do you cover all of Sutton?
