That tired patio behind your Tooting terrace deserves better than moss and cracked pointing. Victorian charm meets modern craftsmanship when restoration specialists tackle those weather-beaten stones.

South London weather takes its toll on outdoor surfaces, particularly in SW17 where clay-heavy soil shifts with the seasons. Those original York stone patios common to Tooting's period properties develop character over decades – sometimes too much character. Restoring them requires understanding both the materials and the unique drainage challenges found between Tooting Bec and Furzedown.
Proper restoration starts beneath the visible surface. Compacted substrate gets lifted, drainage channels cleared, then each stone individually cleaned using low-pressure techniques that preserve original textures. Fresh pointing compound – colour-matched to complement existing mortar – fills gaps while allowing natural movement. Finally, breathable sealants protect against London's persistent damp without trapping moisture.
Twenty years working across Tooting Broadway's compact gardens teaches you which corners flood first. Local knowledge matters when every terrace has quirks previous owners left behind.
