A well-laid patio transforms how you use your garden, adding a practical space for dining, relaxing and entertaining. We design and build patios across SE21, from contemporary porcelain to characterful natural stone. Many of our projects are near West Dulwich station and around Belair Park, where homeowners want clean lines, reliable drainage and a finish that suits period homes. Expect precise levels, crisp edges and a surface that stays smart year after year.
West Dulwich is known for leafy streets, excellent parks and handsome period properties. We regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where sympathetic detailing matters. That might mean matching existing brickwork, choosing warm-toned limestone, or extending an older terrace without awkward joins. If you’re in Dulwich Village, Herne Hill or close to Thurlow Park, we’ll recommend materials and layouts that complement your architecture and garden proportions.
Our process starts with a design consultation to understand how you’ll use the space, then we survey levels, access and drainage before any digging begins. We build on a proper sub-base, use the right bedding and jointing for the chosen paving, and finish with neat cuts and tidy borders. You’ll get clear communication, a written scope of works, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling and a premium finish without shortcuts.
As patios contractors west dulwich area homeowners rely on, we plan for typical Lambeth garden challenges: mixed ground, mature roots and tight side access. Parking and deliveries can be tricky near station roads, so we schedule materials and waste removal carefully. We also factor in drainage and falls to protect neighbouring walls and planting beds. Our approach suits the scale and detailing of local period homes and landscaped gardens.

Costs vary with size, access and material choice. As a guide, installed patios in West Dulwich often start around £140–£220 per m² for quality Indian sandstone, and £180–£300+ per m² for premium porcelain or limestone. Small patio extensions or seating areas may fall in the £2,500–£6,500 range, while larger terraces with steps, drainage and lighting can be £8,000–£20,000+.
Most patio builds take 3–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward 15–25 m² area with good access can be completed in under a week, while larger patios with steps, retaining edges, drainage channels or multiple materials may take two weeks or more. Weather, curing times, site access in SE21, and any groundwork surprises (old slabs, poor sub-bases) can extend timescales.
In many cases, a patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the highway, or working on a listed building or within a conservation area. We’re experienced patios contractors in London Borough of Lambeth and will flag likely constraints early, advise on permeable solutions, and help you check any relevant Lambeth guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our patio installations, covering issues linked to our build such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect preparation, and jointing problems where specified materials and methods were used. It also covers our installation of edging and falls to support proper drainage. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, and we’ll explain all terms in writing.
We install natural stone patios (including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone) as well as modern porcelain for a crisp, low-maintenance finish. Design options include patio extensions, integrated seating areas, steps, contrasting borders, and layouts such as linear runs or mixed-size patterns. During your design consultation, we’ll recommend colours and textures that suit your home and garden, and we’ll discuss slip resistance, drainage and long-term maintenance.
