Those cracked paving slabs near your French doors aren't getting better on their own. Whether it's subsidence from mature tree roots or simply decades of British weather, Wimbledon's older patios tell stories that often need professional attention.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout SW19 often feature original York stone patios that have shifted and settled over generations. Modern properties in Wimbledon Village face different challenges – poorly installed porcelain tiles that have lifted after just one harsh winter. Each repair requires understanding both the material and the underlying issue, particularly given the clay-heavy soil common across the area.
Proper diagnosis comes before any lifting begins. Drainage problems plague countless properties between Copse Hill and Worple Road, causing ponding that eventually destabilises even the best-laid surfaces. Sometimes it's tree root damage from those magnificent oaks dotting Wimbledon Common's edges. Other times, inadequate sub-base preparation shows itself through uneven settling patterns. The solution varies dramatically depending on whether you're dealing with Indian sandstone, reclaimed brick, or contemporary composite materials.
Twenty years of sorting patio problems across South West London means recognising patterns specific to each neighbourhood. The Edwardian homes near Raynes Park station often need careful matching of heritage materials, whilst newer developments require modern technical solutions.

Most residential patio repairs in SW19 range from £800-£2,500, depending on whether it's localised lifting and relevelling or complete sub-base reconstruction. Victorian tile restoration typically sits at the higher end due to sourcing requirements.
Absolutely – from the grand houses overlooking the Common to terraced properties in South Wimbledon. Regular projects span both SW19 and SW20 postcodes, including Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park, and all surrounding streets.
Simple relevelling jobs often complete within 2-3 days, whilst comprehensive repairs involving drainage correction might extend to a full week. Weather permitting, most Wimbledon patios return to normal use within 48 hours of final grouting.
Every repair carries decade-long protection against workmanship defects. This means if joints fail or levels drop due to installation issues within ten years, rectification comes at no charge. Material manufacturer warranties apply separately.
Definitely. Period features like geometric tile patterns, original stone copings, and decorative edgings can usually be carefully lifted, cleaned, and reset. Where matching is needed, specialist reclamation yards provide authentic replacements that blend seamlessly.
