If your garden needs a smarter, more usable surface, our team creates patios that feel like a natural extension of your home. We work across SE11, including routes near The Oval cricket ground and Oval tube station, where access and timing matter. Choose from natural stone patios, porcelain patios, or a practical patio extension for entertaining. Every build starts with how you want to use the space day to day.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats often have compact rear gardens and shared boundaries, so precision is key. We design layouts that maximise seating without crowding planting beds or access paths. Whether you’re in Kennington, Vauxhall or Stockwell, we match paving style to period brickwork and existing levels. Our material choices also consider shade, drainage and slip resistance for London weather.
We begin with a design consultation, then confirm levels, falls and edging details before any digging starts. Sub-bases are built properly, joints are finished neatly, and we keep the site organised to minimise disruption. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship that lasts. As patios contractors Oval area clients recommend, we focus on durable construction rather than quick fixes.
Many gardens around Kennington Park and Brixton sit on mixed London clay, so we build sub-bases and drainage with movement in mind. Terrace properties can mean narrow side returns and limited storage, so we plan deliveries and cutting areas carefully. We’re used to Lambeth’s on-street parking realities and will agree practical loading times in advance. The result is a smoother install with fewer surprises on site.

In Oval, patio costs commonly range from £120–£220 per m² for quality installation, depending on access, groundworks and the paving choice. Porcelain and premium natural stone can sit towards the higher end, while straightforward Indian sandstone is often mid-range. If you’re adding steps, drainage channels, retaining edges or a seating area, allow extra. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most patios take 3–7 working days, with larger or more detailed projects taking 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, waste removal, access through a house or side passage, and whether we’re building steps, walls or a new seating area. Weather can affect curing times for mortar and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
A patio is usually permitted development, so planning permission often isn’t required. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where significant level changes, drainage alterations or boundary works are involved. In Lambeth, it’s also important to manage surface water correctly and avoid directing runoff to the public highway. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and advise what checks are sensible.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor preparation, and defects in laying or jointing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. Material warranties vary by manufacturer, especially for porcelain. We’ll explain what’s covered and how to care for your patio to keep it looking its best.
For Oval homes, popular choices include porcelain patios for a crisp contemporary look, Indian sandstone for warm, traditional character, and slate or limestone for a refined finish. We also build natural stone patios with contrasting borders, curved steps, and integrated seating areas to suit compact gardens. During the design consultation, we bring samples, discuss slip resistance and maintenance, and help you choose a layout that complements period brickwork.
