From garden terraces near Portobello Road Market to quiet mews plots off Notting Hill Gate, we create patios that look refined and perform in all seasons. Choose natural stone patios for timeless character or porcelain for a clean, contemporary feel. We also build patio extensions and integrated seating areas for entertaining. Every project starts with a practical design consultation tailored to your space.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often come with tight access and varied garden levels. Our team is used to working around basement lightwells, steps and boundary walls, keeping finishes neat and sympathetic to period details. For homeowners across W11, we specify materials that complement brickwork and railings without overpowering the setting. If you’re in Holland Park, Bayswater or Ladbroke Grove, we’ll recommend layouts that maximise usable space.
We begin with a site visit to measure, assess levels and discuss how you want to use the area. You’ll receive clear options for paving, edging, drainage and pointing, plus a schedule you can plan around. Our installers focus on correct sub-base build-up and falls to prevent rocking slabs and standing water. Homeowners choose us because we communicate well, keep sites tidy, and deliver a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often have restricted access, controlled parking and strict expectations on noise and waste removal. We plan deliveries, cutting and skip placement to reduce disruption, especially around busy streets near the Carnival route. Ground conditions can vary between made-up ground and older garden soils, so we build robust sub-bases and stabilise edges properly. Our approach suits compact courtyards as well as larger rear gardens in Kensington.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Notting Hill vary by material, access and groundworks. As a guide, porcelain patios often start around £140–£220 per m² installed, while natural stone (including Indian sandstone, slate or limestone) is commonly £120–£210 per m². Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels, seating walls and difficult access can increase the total. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most patio builds take 3–10 working days, depending on size, levels and the amount of excavation required. A straightforward replacement in a small W11 courtyard may be completed in under a week, while a patio extension with steps, seating areas and drainage can take longer. Timescales are affected by access for materials, curing time for bedding and pointing, and weather during groundworks.
In many cases, a rear garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, provided it doesn’t significantly alter ground levels or affect drainage to neighbouring properties. However, listed buildings, conservation considerations and major level changes can trigger additional requirements. We’ll flag any likely issues during the design consultation and can advise on permeable options and drainage details to align with local expectations in Kensington and Chelsea.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect build-up, and problems linked to our laying and pointing methods. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable (porcelain and stone products vary). The warranty excludes damage from misuse, extreme ground movement, or third-party alterations, and we’ll explain care and maintenance to protect your finish.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) and premium porcelain patios in a wide range of colours and formats. Popular choices in Notting Hill include light porcelain for brighter courtyards, or riven sandstone to suit Victorian architecture. Design options include patio extensions, contrasting borders, steps, and built-in seating areas. During your design consultation, we’ll recommend layouts, slip resistance and jointing to match your home and lifestyle.
