Croydon's mix of period properties and newer builds means patios here face unique challenges. From moss-covered York stone behind converted flats to cracked concrete in 1960s semis, each restoration project tells its own story. Years of London weather, combined with clay-heavy soil movement common to CR0 and CR2, creates distinct patterns of wear that require experienced hands to address properly.
Restoration goes deeper than surface cleaning. Joints need repointing with compounds that flex with seasonal ground shifts. Drainage channels often require realignment where subsidence has altered the original fall. Modern polymeric sands lock everything together whilst allowing natural movement - crucial for patios built on Croydon's notorious London clay.
Having restored hundreds of patios from Waddon's terraced gardens to Selhurst's larger plots, patterns emerge. Each neighbourhood presents specific challenges, knowledge that saves time and delivers lasting results.
