Those uneven patio slabs catching your heel every morning? Victorian terraces in SW18 often settle differently than expected, leaving patios looking more like obstacle courses than outdoor havens.
Response within 24 hours
Wandsworth's clay soil plays havoc with patios, particularly around Earlsfield where the ground shifts seasonally. Cracked pointing, wobbly slabs, and drainage puddles transform what should be relaxing spaces into eyesores. Whether your patio borders those typical narrow Southfields gardens or sprawls across a Battersea conversion's courtyard, proper repairs restore both safety and appeal.
Lifting and relevelling requires more than brute force - understanding substrate movement prevents future failures. Each repair starts with investigating why damage occurred: tree roots from neighbouring properties, inadequate base preparation, or simply decades of British weather taking its toll. Modern polymeric compounds seal joints properly whilst maintaining flexibility for natural movement.
Twenty years fixing patios between Wandsworth Common and the Thames means recognising problems before they worsen. Local knowledge matters when Victorian drainage runs beneath your garden or when matching heritage stone becomes essential.

Small repairs addressing isolated slabs start around £200-400. Complete relevelling of standard terraced house patios (roughly 20-30m²) ranges £800-1,500, whilst larger Victorian property patios might reach £2,000-3,500 depending on access challenges.
Absolutely - from riverside properties near Wandsworth Bridge through to conservation areas around the Common. Regular work takes us through Southfields station area, up through Earlsfield's residential streets, and across to Battersea borders.
Minor slab replacements complete within a day. Full patio overhauls typically need 2-4 days including proper curing time, though complex drainage issues might extend this slightly.
Every repair carries decade-long protection against workmanship defects. This covers relevelling accuracy, joint integrity, and drainage effectiveness - essentially everything except accidental damage or extreme ground movement beyond normal SW18 conditions.
Most original slabs clean up beautifully once lifted and reset properly. Matching replacements for genuinely damaged pieces often proves straightforward - Wandsworth's reclamation yards stock plenty of period-appropriate options that blend seamlessly.
