That weathered patio behind your Victorian terrace deserves better than wobbling slabs and sprouting weeds. Lewisham's changeable weather takes its toll, but restoration is closer than you think.

SE13's mix of period properties and modern developments each present unique patio challenges. Clay soil movement beneath those sprawling Edwardian gardens causes inevitable settling. Meanwhile, newer builds around Ladywell often feature budget patios that crack within years. Local knowledge matters when diagnosing whether you need simple repointing or full foundation work.
Proper repair starts with understanding why damage occurred. Subsidence beneath heavy sandstone? Poor drainage causing frost damage to Indian stone? Perhaps tree roots from those magnificent London planes have lifted corners. Assessment determines whether lifting and relaying suffices, or if deeper excavation prevents future problems. Materials matching existing surfaces maintain your garden's character whilst ensuring longevity.
