Those widening gaps between your patio slabs aren't just unsightly - they're an invitation for weeds and water damage. Cheam's mix of clay soil and British weather creates the perfect storm for joint deterioration.

Patio repointing breathes fresh life into tired outdoor spaces across Cheam's diverse neighbourhoods. From compact courtyards behind Edwardian semis to sprawling entertainment areas in North Cheam's newer developments, deteriorating pointing affects properties of every era. Local homeowners often discover the true extent of damage only when slabs begin rocking underfoot.
The repointing process begins with careful excavation of failed mortar, typically removing material to a depth of 20-30mm. Fresh pointing compound - either traditional sand-cement mix or modern polymeric alternatives - fills these channels completely. Proper compaction and finishing ensure water runs away from the surface rather than pooling in joints where freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc.
Having worked on patios from Worcester Park's 1930s builds to Sutton's contemporary townhouses, understanding local ground conditions proves invaluable. Cheam sits on London clay that shifts seasonally, requiring specific joint flexibility considerations.

Most residential patios in the SM2/SM3 area fall between £25-40 per square metre, though intricate patterns or severe deterioration may increase costs. A typical 30m² patio usually ranges from £750-1,200 complete.
Absolutely - from Cheam Village conservation area through to North Cheam's residential streets, including all SM2 and SM3 postcodes. Regular work takes us to neighbouring Ewell, Worcester Park and central Sutton too.
Standard suburban patios typically require 2-3 days from start to finish, weather permitting. Larger or more complex layouts might extend to 4-5 days, particularly if additional repairs are needed.
Every repointing project carries decade-long coverage against joint failure, assuming normal domestic use. This warranty reflects confidence in both materials and workmanship - peace of mind that DIY attempts simply cannot match.
While repointing stabilises the overall surface and prevents further movement, individual rocking slabs usually need lifting and re-bedding first. We'll assess this during quotation and include any necessary remedial work in our proposal.
