New Cross gardens work hard—hosting friends after a gig, quiet coffees, and family time. We build natural stone and porcelain patios that suit the area’s creative energy while staying practical for UK weather. Whether you’re near New Cross station or walking distance to Deptford Park, we’ll shape a patio that fits your space and lifestyle. Expect clean lines, careful falls for drainage, and tidy edges that look finished.
Homes across SE14 include Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with compact rear gardens and shared boundaries. That means levels can be awkward, access can be tight, and every square metre matters. Our patios contractors New Cross area team designs layouts that maximise usable space—think slimline steps, built-in seating areas, and smart patio extensions. We also match paving tones to brickwork, sash windows and period garden styles.
We start with a design consultation, then plan levels, drainage and edging before any digging begins. Sub-base depth, compaction and bedding are done properly so your patio stays stable and doesn’t rock or dip. You’ll get clear options for natural stone patios, porcelain patios, Indian sandstone, slate or limestone, with guidance on slip resistance and maintenance. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful workmanship, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across New Cross and nearby Brockley, ground can vary from firm clay to made-up layers from older builds, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. Access is often via narrow side returns on terraces, so we plan deliveries, cutting and waste removal to keep disruption down. Parking restrictions around New Cross station can affect logistics, so we schedule sensibly and keep materials secure. We also consider drainage so patios don’t push water towards older brickwork and air vents.

Costs vary by material, access and groundwork. As a guide, a professionally installed patio in SE14 is often around £120–£200 per m² for Indian sandstone, £140–£230 per m² for limestone or slate, and £160–£260 per m² for quality porcelain. Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels, lighting prep and waste removal can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patio projects take 3–7 working days once work starts, depending on size and complexity. A small seating area may be completed in a few days, while larger patio extensions with steps, raised edges or multiple levels can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access (common with Victorian terraces), ground conditions, curing time for bedding and jointing, and any extra features such as drainage or built-in seating.
In many cases, a rear garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission, provided you’re not significantly altering ground levels or affecting drainage in a way that creates run-off issues. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where retaining walls and major level changes are involved. We’ll flag any potential concerns during the design consultation and can advise on best practice for drainage and compliance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sinking due to sub-base failure, loose paving caused by incorrect bedding, and defects in jointing applied by our team. The warranty is valid when the patio is used normally and maintained sensibly (for example, using appropriate cleaners for porcelain and avoiding harsh acids on natural stone). Manufacturer warranties may also apply to certain paving products.
We install natural stone patios and porcelain patios, including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone in a range of colours and finishes. Popular choices in New Cross include light porcelain for a modern look, riven sandstone for period homes, and slate for strong contrast against brick. We can add patio extensions, zoning, steps, and seating areas to suit entertaining and everyday use. During your design consultation, we’ll recommend sizes, laying patterns and edging to match your garden and budget.
