A well-laid patio transforms how you use your garden, from morning coffee to weekend entertaining. Our team regularly works across SE4, creating natural stone patios, porcelain patios and tailored seating areas that feel right for Brockley homes. We’re often on site near Brockley Market and around Honor Oak, where gardens vary from compact to surprisingly long. Expect crisp levels, clean edges and drainage that performs in real London weather.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with period detailing and tight side access, which influences design and build methods. We plan layouts that complement brickwork and bay windows, and we can extend existing patios without the “patchwork” look. Whether you’re in Crofton Park or closer to New Cross, we’ll recommend finishes that balance character with low maintenance. Our patios contractors Brockley area service is built around practical solutions for London gardens.
We start with a design consultation to understand how you want to use the space, then propose materials, patterns and edging options. Groundworks are done properly: excavation, sub-base, compaction and falls for drainage, followed by precise laying and jointing. You’ll get clear scheduling, tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. Homeowners choose our patios contractors in London Borough of Lewisham because we deliver consistent workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Many Brockley gardens have clay-heavy ground, so we prioritise robust sub-bases and reliable drainage. Access can be narrow in Victorian terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and mixing areas to minimise disruption. Parking restrictions near spots like Hilly Fields can affect logistics, and we schedule accordingly. We also design around mature planting and boundary walls common in SE4 properties.

Costs vary by material, access and ground conditions, but as a guide in Brockley you might expect around £120–£180 per m² for Indian sandstone, £140–£220 per m² for limestone or slate, and £160–£260 per m² for quality porcelain, including proper sub-base. Steps, drainage channels, retaining edges and seating areas add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patio builds take 3–7 working days once started, depending on size and complexity. A small courtyard patio may be completed in a few days, while larger patio extensions with steps, seating areas or multiple levels can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the house, waste removal, curing time for bedding and the need to correct levels or drainage. We confirm a schedule before work begins.
In many cases, a patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided it doesn’t significantly raise ground levels or cause drainage issues. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/mansion conversions, or if you’re in a conservation area. Lewisham also expects surface water to be managed responsibly, so we design falls and drainage to avoid run-off problems. We’ll flag any concerns and help you check requirements before starting.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by inadequate preparation, and problems linked to laying and jointing. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, porcelain specifications and stain resistance). The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate care, and we’ll explain maintenance for your chosen stone or porcelain to keep it looking its best.
For Brockley’s period properties, Indian sandstone in warm buffs and greys is popular, as are sleek porcelain slabs for a modern contrast. Slate and limestone suit contemporary extensions and courtyard gardens, while natural stone paving works well with traditional brick boundaries. We can add patio extensions, built-in seating areas and subtle edging to sharpen the finish. During your design consultation, we’ll show samples and recommend layouts that suit light, drainage and how you entertain.
