That sunken corner where water pools after every shower? Victorian properties throughout SW15 weren't built with modern patio standards in mind. From subtle subsidence to complete resurfacing, every repair starts with understanding why your patio failed.

Putney's mix of period conversions and newer developments means patio problems vary wildly street by street. Clay soil movement affects those grand houses near the Heath differently than riverside properties face their own drainage battles. Years fixing patios between Putney Bridge and Roehampton taught us that matching existing materials matters as much as structural integrity – especially when your neighbours share that same reclaimed York stone aesthetic.
Lifting individual slabs reveals the story beneath. Inadequate sub-base preparation causes most failures, particularly where builders rushed groundwork on those 1990s extensions. Modern repair techniques involve excavating compromised sections, installing proper drainage channels, then rebuilding with reinforced concrete foundations. This prevents future movement whilst maintaining surface permeability – crucial given Thames Water's stricter runoff regulations.
Local knowledge counts when sourcing matching materials from Barnes Common quarries or coordinating deliveries through Putney's restricted parking zones. Twenty years navigating SW15's planning quirks means fewer surprises, faster completions.

Partial repairs addressing specific problem areas generally range £800-£2,500. Complete patio overhauls for average SW15 gardens (80-120m²) typically fall between £3,000-£7,000, depending on material choices and drainage complexity.
Absolutely – from riverside properties near Putney Embankment to hillside homes around Putney Heath. Regular work takes us through Roehampton Vale and across to Barnes Common borders.
Emergency trip hazards get temporary fixes within 48 hours. Full repairs typically schedule within two weeks, taking 3-5 days depending on weather and material availability.
Every structural repair carries decade-long protection against settlement or failure. Materials and workmanship covered comprehensively, with photographic documentation of sub-base preparation provided for your records.
Often, yes. Localised repairs work well for isolated cracks or settlement. We carefully lift affected areas, address underlying issues, then reinstate using colour-matched pointing compounds. This approach preserves character whilst solving structural problems.
