Years of British weather take their toll on Wallington's patios, leaving once-pristine stonework stained and joints crumbling. Whether your Victorian terrace boasts original York stone or your modern semi features contemporary porcelain, restoration breathes new life into tired outdoor spaces.

Tucked between Carshalton's leafy streets and Purley's bustling centre, Wallington gardens reflect decades of changing tastes. Those characterful Edwardian properties near Roundshaw often feature original flagstones crying out for sympathetic restoration. Meanwhile, newer builds towards Manor Road showcase Indian sandstone that's developed that telltale green tinge after just a few winters. Each material demands its own approach – what works for limestone won't suit slate.
Deep cleaning strips away years of embedded dirt without damaging delicate surfaces. Pressure washing alone risks forcing water beneath stones, causing future frost damage. Instead, specialised detergents break down organic growth whilst protecting pointing. Repointing follows, using mortars matched to your patio's age and substrate. Finally, appropriate sealants lock out moisture whilst allowing stone to breathe naturally. This three-stage process typically transforms even the most neglected surfaces.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with SM6's varied geology and microclimates. Having worked across Wallington for fifteen years, patterns emerge – north-facing patios near Beddington Park suffer worse algae growth, whilst properties backing onto the railway line battle soot deposits.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most SM6 properties see costs between £25-40 per square metre, depending on stone type and condition. A standard 30m² patio usually falls within £750-1200, though severely damaged pointing or specialist stones like reclaimed York can push higher.
Absolutely – from the Conservation Area near Holy Trinity Church to newer developments off Woodcote Road. Regular work takes us through Carshalton, into Coulsdon's outskirts, and across to Purley's borders.
Typical Wallington patios need 2-4 days, weather permitting. Initial cleaning and preparation takes a full day, repointing another day or two, then sealing once everything's properly cured.
Every restoration carries decade-long coverage against workmanship defects. This includes pointing failure, sealant breakdown, and any damage caused during cleaning – peace of mind for your investment.
Minor level adjustments form part of comprehensive restoration, particularly where individual slabs have shifted. However, significant subsidence – common near Wallington's clay soils – requires groundwork specialists before surface restoration begins.
