That sunken corner of your patio isn't getting better on its own. Whether it's Victorian flagstones in Cheam or modern porcelain in Carshalton, proper repairs mean understanding what lies beneath.
Response within 24 hours
Sutton's mix of London clay and chalk creates unique challenges for outdoor surfaces. Many patios around Belmont and Worcester Park suffer from seasonal movement, causing joints to fail and slabs to rock. The heavy rains last winter particularly affected properties near Poulter Park, where inadequate sub-base preparation from original installations has led to widespread settlement issues.
Effective patio restoration involves more than re-pointing gaps with sand. Ground assessment determines whether localised lifting suffices or full sub-base reconstruction is necessary. Modern polymeric compounds resist the freeze-thaw cycles common in SM2's exposed areas, while flexible bedding systems accommodate the natural clay expansion seen throughout Wallington's Victorian terraces.
Twenty years working across Sutton means recognising drainage patterns from Rosehill to North Cheam. Each repair strengthens the entire surface, preventing water ingress that ruins so many local patios.

Minor repairs like re-levelling individual slabs start around £350-£500. Complete restoration of a standard 30m² patio ranges from £1,800-£3,500, depending on sub-base condition and material type.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas of SM1 through to the newer developments in SM3. Regular projects include Carshalton Beeches, central Sutton and the residential streets around Cheam Common.
Small repairs typically complete within a day. Comprehensive restorations involving sub-base work usually require 3-5 days, weather permitting.
All structural repairs carry decade-long coverage against settlement or joint failure. This includes both workmanship and the specialist materials used throughout SM1, SM2 and SM3 postcodes.
Historic surfaces deserve careful handling. Individual tiles can be lifted, cleaned and reset on improved foundations. Where replacements are needed, reclamation yards in Surrey often stock matching pieces from demolished properties.
