If you’re upgrading a garden near Denmark Hill station or looking to create a calm seating area close to Ruskin Park, a well-built patio changes how you use the space. We design and install patios that look sharp year-round and cope with London weather. Expect careful levels, neat edges and finishes that suit your home. We cover SE5 and the surrounding streets with a tidy, considerate approach.
Denmark Hill has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and purpose-built flats, so patio solutions need to be tailored. We regularly work with narrow side access, stepped gardens and shared boundaries common around Camberwell and Herne Hill. For period properties, we can match traditional character with Indian sandstone or limestone. For contemporary refurbishments, porcelain paving delivers a clean, low-maintenance finish.
Our process starts with a design consultation to confirm layout, levels, drainage and how you want to use the space. We build on a proper sub-base, use quality jointing, and finish with precise cuts around manholes, thresholds and planting. You’ll get clear scheduling, daily site tidiness and workmanship you can rely on. Homeowners choose us because we turn plans into a patio that stays stable and looks great.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark often means managing tight access, resident parking controls and careful waste removal. Ground conditions can vary, so we inspect the base and specify the right build-up to prevent movement. Many gardens around King’s College Hospital and Maudsley Hospital sit on slopes or have retaining features, so we plan levels and steps early. We also coordinate deliveries to minimise disruption on busy roads.

Costs in SE5 vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, professionally installed concrete-base patios often start around £120–£180 per m², while Indian sandstone is commonly £140–£220 per m². Porcelain patios are typically £160–£260 per m² due to cutting and adhesive requirements. Steps, drainage channels, lighting ducts and waste removal can increase the overall budget.
Most patio builds take 3–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small courtyard can be completed in a few days, while larger patio extensions with steps, seating walls or multiple levels may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common with Victorian terraces), excavation depth, drainage works, curing time for bases, and the amount of cutting needed for detailed patterns.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near a boundary wall, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage is also important: surfaces should not direct water onto the public highway. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by poor preparation, and jointing defects linked to installation. It does not cover accidental damage, extreme events, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also recommend suitable aftercare and cleaning methods for each paving type so your patio keeps its finish and performance for longer.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as modern porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance look. Design options include patio extensions, built-in seating areas, contrasting borders, step details and practical drainage solutions. During your design consultation, we’ll help you choose colours and formats that suit your property style, light levels and how you plan to entertain or relax outdoors.
