A well-built patio adds usable space and a clean link between house and garden—ideal for entertaining near Blackheath Common or quieter evenings behind Blackheath Village. We install natural stone and porcelain patios with precise falls, neat edging and crisp jointing. Whether you want a new terrace, a patio extension or a defined seating area, we tailor the layout to how you actually use the garden. We work across SE3 and nearby Greenwich and Lee.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often come with mature gardens, steps, and tight side access. We’re used to protecting original brickwork, managing levels around basements and lightwells, and matching paving tones to traditional façades. For properties near The Paragon or around All Saints Church, sympathetic detailing matters—so we specify materials and patterns that complement the architecture. If you’re opening up the rear with bifolds, we’ll align thresholds and drainage for a seamless finish.
Our process starts with a design consultation, site measure and a clear recommendation on sub-base, drainage and paving choice. We excavate properly, install a robust foundation, and lay paving to manufacturer guidance for long-term performance. You’ll receive a written scope, staged schedule and tidy working practices throughout. Homeowners choose our patios contractors Blackheath area for dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for common constraints such as controlled parking, narrow access routes and shared boundaries. Blackheath gardens can include clay-heavy soils and mature tree roots, so we adjust excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage accordingly. For period properties, we also factor in steps, retaining edges and threshold heights to keep everything safe and proportional. We coordinate deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on residential streets.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Patio costs in Blackheath typically range from about £140–£250+ per m² installed, depending on the paving and groundwork. Indian sandstone is often at the lower end, while porcelain and premium limestone can sit higher due to material price and cutting. Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels, and restricted access can increase labour time. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most patio installations take around 3–7 working days once work starts, with larger or more complex projects taking 1–2+ weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, access, weather, and whether you’re adding steps, seating areas or a patio extension. Porcelain often needs more cutting and careful jointing, while natural stone may involve pattern setting and edging details. We confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering significant levels, affecting drainage to the highway, or working on a listed building—situations that can occur around Blackheath’s period streets. We’ll advise on permeable solutions and suitable drainage, and we can help you check any council guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base, loose edging, or jointing failures under normal use. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, porcelain). The warranty assumes normal maintenance and that drainage isn’t altered after completion. We’ll explain care requirements and leave you with guidance to keep the finish looking its best.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as porcelain patios for a sleek, low-porosity finish. Design options include large-format paving, mixed-size patterns, contrasting borders, steps, and built-in seating areas. During your design consultation, we bring samples and talk through colour, slip resistance, jointing style and how the patio connects to lawn, planting and doors. We’ll recommend what suits your property and budget.
