Those charming Victorian terraces throughout Sydenham deserve outdoor spaces that match their character. Years of London weather needn't mean accepting a tired-looking patio when restoration can bring back its original beauty.

Sydenham's mix of period properties and newer builds each present unique patio challenges. Whether it's original York stone showing decades of wear or modern porcelain tiles that have lost their lustre, the right restoration approach depends entirely on understanding both the material and the home's heritage. Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from subsidence issues common to Forest Hill's clay soil to the specific cleaning needs of reclaimed materials popular in SE26 renovations.
Restoration starts with thorough assessment - checking joint stability, identifying the stone type, and understanding drainage patterns specific to your property's layout. Deep cleaning removes built-up grime without damaging delicate surfaces, while repointing ensures water flows away from foundations properly. Sealants protect against future staining but must breathe, particularly important given Sydenham's tree-lined streets where organic matter accumulates quickly. Each stage requires precision timing to work with rather than against our unpredictable weather.
Twenty years working across SE26 means recognising patterns others might miss - which properties suffer from poor original installation, where tree roots typically cause problems. This isn't about flashy promises but solid results that last through countless seasons.
