From Bedford Hill to Balham High Road, homeowners want patios that look sharp and perform year-round. We build Natural Stone Patios, Porcelain Patios and practical patio extensions that make gardens easier to use. Whether you’re near Balham station or closer to Nightingale, we’ll design a layout that fits your lifestyle. Expect clean lines, confident detailing and a finish that complements your home.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with compact gardens and tricky levels. We’re used to working around side returns, basement lightwells and narrow access routes common in SW12. Our designs maximise seating without crowding the space, and we can blend new paving into existing paths and planting. If you’re in Balham Hill or Clapham South, we’ll tailor materials and edging to match the property’s character.
We start with a design consultation to understand how you’ll use the patio—dining, lounging, or a firepit-style seating area. Then we handle set-out, excavation, sub-base, drainage falls and precise laying to manufacturer standards. You’ll get clear scheduling, tidy working practices and transparent choices on finishes and jointing. Local homeowners trust us because we build for longevity and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
As patios contractors in London Borough of Wandsworth, we plan for common Balham constraints: narrow side access, shared boundaries and limited on-street parking. Ground conditions vary, so we build robust sub-bases and set correct falls to protect nearby walls and lawn edges. We also consider neighbouring properties and working hours to keep disruption low. If waste permits or parking suspensions are needed, we’ll advise early and keep the job moving.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Patio costs in Balham typically range from £140–£220 per m² for Indian sandstone and £170–£280 per m² for porcelain, depending on thickness, cuts and jointing. Natural stone options like slate or limestone can sit around £160–£260 per m². Excavation depth, access (common in Victorian terraces), drainage adjustments and steps or seating walls will affect the overall budget.
Most patio installations take 3–7 working days for a small to mid-sized area, assuming straightforward access and dry weather. Larger projects with patio extensions, multiple levels, steps or built-in seating areas can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation, sub-base curing, cutting complexity (especially porcelain), and any drainage or lighting provisions included in the design.
In many cases, a patio in a rear garden is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, working near a boundary, or if the property is listed or within a conservation area. We’ll discuss your plans during the consultation and help you check any Wandsworth requirements, including permeable solutions where appropriate.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our patio installations, covering issues such as laying failures, unstable sub-base construction and poor jointing performance when installed to our specification. Materials are covered by their manufacturers’ warranties where applicable. We’ll also give care guidance for sealing, cleaning and winter maintenance, helping your patio keep its finish and structural integrity over time.
We install Natural Stone Patios and Porcelain Patios, including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone in a range of tones and sizes. Popular choices in Balham include large-format porcelain for a contemporary look and warm sandstone for period terraces. Design options include patio extensions, curved or crisp edging, steps, and dedicated seating areas. During your design consultation, we’ll recommend layouts, slip resistance and jointing to suit how you use the space.
