Chelsea gardens deserve paving that looks as good as it performs. We design and build patios that suit the architecture around King’s Road and nearby South Kensington, with clean lines, discreet drainage and premium jointing. Whether you want a calm seating area for entertaining or a practical family terrace, we tailor the layout to your lifestyle. Expect careful protection of existing planting and a site kept tidy throughout.
Homes across SW3 and SW10 range from Georgian townhouses to Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with courtyards and roof terraces. That variety calls for flexible detailing: slim thresholds, step solutions, hidden falls and precise cuts around bay windows and lightwells. Our patios contractors Chelsea area clients often request seamless indoor–outdoor transitions and low-maintenance finishes. We specify materials and build-ups that respect older buildings while meeting modern performance standards.
Your project starts with a design consultation, where we discuss materials, levels, drainage and how you’ll use the space. We provide clear written scopes, realistic lead times, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Our team arrives prepared, communicates daily, and completes snagging before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for consistent quality and a process that avoids surprises.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means restricted access, controlled parking and considerate neighbour management. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit local conditions, especially around busy routes near Stamford Bridge. Many properties have basements, lightwells or older drainage runs, so we survey levels and services before excavation. Our construction details are chosen to perform on compact London ground and tight courtyard footprints.

Costs vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, quality Indian sandstone patios often start around £150–£220 per m² installed, while porcelain and premium natural stone commonly range from £180–£300+ per m². Steps, drainage channels, lighting ducts, intricate cuts and restricted access in SW3/SW10 can increase costs. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit and design consultation.
Most patio projects take 5–10 working days once materials are on site, with larger builds or complex levels taking 2–3 weeks. Timescales depend on demolition, sub-base depth, drainage upgrades, steps, and the number of cuts around walls and lightwells. Porcelain often requires more precise preparation and jointing. We confirm a programme before starting and keep you updated if weather affects curing times.
In many cases, a rear garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, basement lightwells, or where you’re altering levels significantly or affecting drainage to the highway. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you check any RBKC requirements. If permissions or party wall matters apply, we’ll flag them early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship. It covers issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect build-up, and defects in our laying and jointing. Natural stone and porcelain themselves are covered by manufacturer guarantees where applicable, and we’ll pass those details on. The warranty assumes normal use and that any recommended maintenance (such as gentle cleaning and re-sanding where relevant) is followed.
Popular choices include porcelain for low maintenance and crisp modern lines, Indian sandstone for warmth and character, and slate or limestone for a refined, architectural look. We also design patio extensions to blend with existing paving, plus built-in seating areas and raised planters where space allows. During the consultation we bring samples, discuss slip resistance and colour tones, and recommend laying patterns and edging details to suit your property.
