Those uneven paving slabs catching your garden furniture aren't going to level themselves. Sanderstead's clay soil shifts more than most people realise, leaving patios looking like geological surveys rather than entertainment spaces.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian and Edwardian properties throughout CR2 often feature original sandstone patios that have weathered over a century of British seasons. The combination of mature tree roots from Sanderstead's abundant greenery and the area's notorious clay substrate creates particular challenges for patio stability. Rather than ripping everything out and starting fresh, targeted repairs can restore both function and character to these outdoor spaces.
Lifting and re-bedding individual slabs addresses the root cause of movement without disturbing the entire installation. Fresh mortar pointing between stones prevents water ingress that accelerates frost damage during Surrey's unpredictable winters. Where drainage has failed, installing discrete channel systems directs rainwater away from foundations - particularly crucial given the steep gardens common near Hamsey Green.
Twenty years working on Sanderstead's unique mix of period properties and 1930s suburban homes brings invaluable pattern recognition. Each patio tells its own story through its cracks and settlement.
