Kennington gardens deserve paving that complements period architecture and busy London living. Whether you’re near The Oval or walking distance from Kennington Park, we create patios that feel like an extra room outdoors. Choose natural stone, porcelain, Indian sandstone, slate or limestone, all laid with careful levels and clean detailing. We also build patio extensions and defined seating areas for entertaining and everyday use.
Homes across SE11 range from Georgian townhouses and elegant squares to Victorian terraces and mansion blocks. That mix often means compact rear gardens, side returns and shared access routes, so every centimetre of patio layout matters. Our patios contractors Kennington area team designs paving that works with existing steps, lightwells and boundary walls. We’ll help you pick finishes that suit brickwork, railings and traditional garden planting.
We start with a design consultation to understand how you want to use the space, then survey levels, drainage and access before recommending materials. Our builds include a proper sub-base, accurate falls and neat edge restraints to reduce movement and standing water. You’ll get a clear written scope, staged updates and respectful site management. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, straightforward communication and a long warranty-backed finish.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth often means tight access, controlled parking and careful waste removal. Around Oval, Vauxhall and Elephant & Castle, we plan deliveries and cutting areas to minimise disruption to neighbours. We also account for typical London clay and variable made-ground by specifying robust sub-bases and, where needed, improved drainage. The result is a patio that stays level and performs well year-round.

In Kennington, patio costs typically range from £120–£200 per m² for quality installation, depending on access and groundworks. Porcelain often sits around £140–£220 per m², while Indian sandstone can be £120–£190 per m². Steps, seating walls, drainage channels, lighting ducts and waste removal can add to the total. We provide a site survey and itemised quote so you can compare like-for-like.
Most patios take 3–7 working days, depending on size, excavation depth and the number of details such as steps or seating areas. A straightforward 15–25 m² patio with good access can be completed in under a week, while larger layouts or patio extensions may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales also change with curing time, weather, and whether we’re improving drainage or rebuilding retaining edges.
A patio in a rear garden is usually permitted development, so planning permission is often not required. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works alter levels significantly or affect drainage to the public highway. Lambeth also expects surface water to be managed responsibly. We check the basics during consultation and can advise if you should confirm details with the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor edge restraint, or incorrect falls. Materials are supplied with manufacturer warranties where applicable (porcelain and some sealers vary by brand). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by unrelated structural issues. We’ll explain care and maintenance to keep your patio looking its best.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as modern porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish. Design options include mixed-size laying patterns, soldier-course borders, contrasting steps, and built-in seating areas. During the design consultation we’ll review colour tones against your brickwork, discuss slip resistance and shading, and recommend jointing and edging choices that suit how you use the space.
