Coulsdon gardens often deserve a patio that matches the downland setting and generous plots. We create natural stone and porcelain patios for homes near Farthing Downs and Old Coulsdon, with layouts that feel practical year-round. Whether you want a quiet seating area, a dining terrace, or a smarter connection to the lawn, we plan the levels and drainage from the start. The result is a surface that stays stable, clean and easy to enjoy.
Our team knows the mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and newer developments found across CR5. In Chipstead Valley and Hooley, we regularly extend existing patios to improve access from kitchens and garden rooms. We also design step details, retaining edges and lighting-ready routes that suit sloping plots. Every build is tailored to how you use the space, not a one-size template.
We begin with a design consultation, then produce a clear proposal covering materials, edging, falls and drainage. Groundworks are completed to the correct depths with a robust sub-base, then we lay and point to suit the chosen finish. You’ll get tidy working practices, clear timelines and straightforward communication throughout. Homeowners choose us because we build for longevity, not quick fixes.
As patios contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we plan for varied ground conditions and gradients common around Coulsdon’s downland edges. Access and parking can differ between older roads in Old Coulsdon and newer developments, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for run-off so water doesn’t track towards the house or neighbouring boundaries. Our methods suit larger plots as well as tighter side access routes.

Costs vary by size, access, excavation depth and your chosen finish. As a guide, professionally installed patios in the Coulsdon area often fall around £120–£200 per m² for quality Indian sandstone, and roughly £150–£250+ per m² for porcelain. Natural stone such as slate or limestone can sit in a similar or slightly higher range depending on grade. Steps, walls, drainage and lighting routes are priced separately.
Most patio builds take 3–7 working days, depending on the area, site access and whether we’re extending an existing terrace. Larger projects with multiple levels, steps, retaining edges or complex drainage can take 1–2+ weeks. Weather can affect groundworks and pointing/setting times, and porcelain often needs extra precision cutting. After the design consultation, we provide a realistic schedule and keep you updated as work progresses.
A patio is usually permitted development, so planning permission is not normally required. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works significantly alter levels near boundaries. Drainage is also important: we aim to manage surface water within your garden using falls and suitable sub-bases, rather than sending run-off to the public highway. We’ll flag any concerns and advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship, including the stability of the build-up, correct laying and jointing/pointing (when maintained as advised). It also covers issues caused by installation faults, such as movement from inadequate sub-base depth. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain care requirements for your chosen surface—especially porcelain and natural stone—to help keep your patio looking its best.
We install porcelain patios for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, plus natural stone options including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone. Design options include patio extensions, raised or split-level terraces, integrated seating areas, steps and contrasting borders. During your design consultation, we’ll help you choose colours, slab sizes and laying patterns that suit your home and garden, and we’ll plan practical details like drainage falls and access routes.
