Purley gardens deserve patios that look smart year-round and cope with family life. Whether you’re near Purley Cross or heading towards Riddlesdown, we create patios that feel like a natural extension of your home. Choose from natural stone patios, porcelain patios, or classic Indian sandstone. We also build seating areas that make entertaining easy, even in smaller side returns.
Many properties across CR8 include large detached houses, 1930s homes and characterful period houses with generous rear gardens. We match paving styles to your architecture, from crisp porcelain for contemporary refurbishments to limestone and slate for traditional settings. If you’re in Purley Oaks, Kenley, Sanderstead or Coulsdon, we’ll design levels and steps to suit sloping plots common near the North Downs. The result is a patio that looks intentional, not “added on”.
Our process starts with a design consultation, then a clear, itemised quotation and a practical build plan. We prepare proper sub-bases, install edge restraints, and set falls for reliable drainage before laying and jointing. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, tidy working practices, and a finish that’s checked in detail before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As patios contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to varied ground conditions and the changes in level found around Riddlesdown and the North Downs edge. Access and parking can be tight near Purley Way and busy junctions, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. For 1930s plots and period homes, we protect boundaries, manage drainage routes, and keep finishes sympathetic to the property. We also advise on practical details like step heights, lighting conduit routes and future maintenance.

Costs vary by size, access, ground preparation and paving choice. As a guide, installed patios in Purley often range from £120–£200 per m² for Indian sandstone, and £160–£260 per m² for porcelain. Natural stone such as slate or limestone can sit around £150–£250 per m² depending on grade and cutting. Steps, retaining edges, drainage and seating walls add to the total.
Most patio builds take 3–7 working days once we start on site. Smaller patio extensions or seating areas can be completed in 2–4 days, while larger designs with steps, multiple levels or extensive groundwork may take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, the amount of excavation, weather, and curing time for bedding and jointing. We confirm a realistic programme before work begins.
In many cases, a patio at ground level is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, adding raised platforms, building near boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a restricted area. Drainage is also important: surfaces should not direct water onto the highway or neighbouring land. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise if you should check with Croydon Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for patio installations, covering issues such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor preparation, and problems linked to installation methods. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural wear and weathering of materials over time. We also follow manufacturer guidance for products such as porcelain jointing compounds and sealers. Aftercare advice is included to help your patio stay looking its best.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as modern porcelain patios for a crisp, low-porosity finish. Design options include mixed-size patterns, clean large-format slabs, contrasting borders, and integrated seating areas or planters. During the design consultation, we’ll help you choose colours that suit brickwork and render, recommend slip-resistant finishes, and plan practical details like drainage channels, lighting routes and step positioning.
