Those original Victorian tiles hiding under years of grime deserve better than a pressure washer and crossed fingers. Penge's patios take a beating from London weather, but beneath the moss and faded joints lies potential waiting to shine through.

Restoring patios across SE20 means understanding what decades of British weather does to different materials. From crumbling pointing between sandstone slabs to algae-stained concrete that's seen better days, each restoration tells its own story. The compact gardens typical of Penge terraces often mean patios work harder as the main outdoor space, making their condition crucial for both aesthetics and functionality.
Proper restoration goes beyond surface cleaning. First comes assessment: checking drainage angles, identifying substrate damage, testing mortar integrity. Then the real work begins - carefully removing failed pointing without damaging edges, deep cleaning that penetrates years of buildup, and applying sealants matched to your specific stone or concrete type. Victorian properties around Alexandra Recreation Ground often feature original York stone requiring specialist gentle techniques.
Twelve years working on patios from Anerley to Crystal Palace means knowing which products actually withstand SE20's freeze-thaw cycles. Every restoration comes with photographic documentation and aftercare guidance specific to your patio type.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Victorian terrace patios (around 20-30m²) run between £800-£1,400 including cleaning, repointing and sealing. Larger spaces or those needing substrate repairs might reach £2,000-£3,000.
Absolutely - from properties backing onto Penge Recreation Ground to homes near Betts Park, covering all of SE20 plus neighbouring Anerley and Beckenham borders.
Standard terrace patios typically complete within 2-3 days, weather permitting. Extensive repointing or levelling work might extend to 4-5 days.
All pointing and sealing work carries decade-long coverage against failure. This includes materials and labour, with annual check-ups recommended but not required for warranty validity.
Yes, colour matching is standard practice. We blend mortars on-site to complement existing stonework, particularly important for Penge's Victorian and Edwardian properties where modern grey cement would look jarring.
