Downham’s established residential estate includes 1920s cottage estates, 1930s semis and a good mix of post-war housing. These gardens often need level changes managed carefully, plus smart drainage so surfaces stay safe and clean. Our patios contractors downham area team designs around existing lawns, side access routes and outbuildings. The result is a patio that looks right against brickwork, render and mature planting.
We start with a design consultation, then provide a clear specification covering sub-base depth, edge restraints, falls and jointing. Every build is set out properly, with careful ground preparation and tidy site management from day one. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that stands up to heavy use. With our workmanship warranty, you can invest confidently in a patio that performs as well as it looks.
As patios contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to the varied ground conditions found in established estates like Downham. Many BR1 homes have limited side access and on-street parking, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. We also build in effective drainage and edging to cope with heavy rain and prevent movement. Our designs suit the scale of typical front-to-back gardens without overwhelming them.

Patio costs in Downham typically range from £120–£220 per m² for supply and installation, depending on material and groundwork. Porcelain often sits around £160–£220 per m², while Indian sandstone is commonly £120–£180 per m². Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels, and difficult access can increase the overall figure. We’ll confirm a detailed price after a site visit and design consultation.
Most patio installations take 3–7 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of excavation needed. A straightforward 20–30 m² patio can often be completed within a week, while larger projects with extensions, seating areas, steps or drainage may take 1–2 weeks. Weather, curing times for bedding/jointing, and waste removal logistics can also affect the schedule. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission, provided it’s at ground level and doesn’t significantly alter land levels. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, near boundaries, or adding substantial retaining walls, raised terraces, or changes that affect drainage. We’ll discuss your design, check relevant Lewisham guidance, and advise if any permissions or approvals are likely to be required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our patio installations. This covers issues linked to our construction, such as sub-base failure, movement caused by poor preparation, or problems with laying that lead to instability. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural wear, and some surface products may have separate manufacturer warranties. We also explain maintenance for porcelain and natural stone to keep your patio looking its best.
We install porcelain patios for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, and natural stone options such as Indian sandstone, slate and limestone for character and variation. Design options include patio extensions, curved or straight edging, integrated seating areas, steps, and zoned layouts for dining and lounging. During your design consultation, we’ll help you choose colours, sizes and laying patterns that suit your home’s style and how you use the garden.
