That tired patio behind your Mitcham terrace doesn't need replacing – it needs restoring. Years of London weather have taken their toll, but underneath those stains and loose joints lies solid stonework worth saving.
Response within 24 hours
Mitcham's mix of Victorian terraces and post-war semis means patios ranging from original York stone to 1970s concrete slabs. Each material ages differently in our local climate. Whether you're dealing with moss-covered flagstones near Mitcham Common or oil-stained concrete in Figges Marsh, restoration breathes new life into existing surfaces without the upheaval of complete replacement.
Deep cleaning reveals the patio's true condition beneath years of grime. Pressure washing at the correct PSI lifts ingrained dirt without damaging stone surfaces. Re-pointing crumbling joints prevents water ingress that causes frost damage during cold snaps. Finally, appropriate sealants protect against future staining while maintaining the surface's natural appearance and slip resistance.
Having restored hundreds of patios between Colliers Wood and the Common, we understand which techniques work for Mitcham's specific conditions. Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from Victorian quarry tiles to modern Indian sandstone.

Most CR4 homeowners spend £800-£2,500 depending on patio size and condition. A standard 30m² patio needing cleaning and re-pointing typically costs around £1,200, while extensive repairs to natural stone can reach £3,000.
Absolutely – from period properties near Cricket Green to newer developments around Eastfields station. We regularly work across CR4, SW16 and surrounding streets, including Mitcham Common, Figges Marsh and towards Colliers Wood.
Standard restoration completes within 2-3 days, weather permitting. Extensive re-pointing or repairs to larger patios might extend to 4-5 days. We'll assess during the initial visit and provide accurate timescales.
All restoration work carries our decade-long guarantee covering pointing integrity and sealant performance. Should any restored elements fail within ten years due to workmanship, we'll rectify at no charge – that's our commitment to lasting results.
Surprisingly few patios are beyond restoration. Cracked slabs can often be lifted and re-laid, sunken areas re-levelled, and even severely stained surfaces transformed. Only when the substrate has completely failed do we recommend replacement over restoration.
