Patios in Cheam
A patio built for years, not seasons.
We lay patios in Cheam in porcelain, Indian sandstone, limestone and other natural stone, on a properly compacted base with falls and drainage planned.

Your garden, considered
The base is what you are paying for
A patio's appearance comes from the stone, but its life comes from the base. We dig out to the right depth, lay and compact a sub-base, and set the slabs on a full mortar bed with a fall away from the house.
We help you choose between porcelain, which is hard-wearing and easy to clean, and natural stone such as Indian sandstone or limestone, which has warmth and variation.
In Cheam we often lay patios beside a lawn, with steps or edging to separate the two and drainage at the edge.

Materials & possibilities
Choosing your paving
Each material has strengths. We will show you samples.
Falls and drainage
A patio must shed water away from the house, typically with a gentle fall to a lawn, border or drainage channel. Getting this right is why our patios do not puddle or stain.

Read our warranty termsPorcelain or natural stone for a patio in Cheam?
Porcelain is the easiest to maintain; natural stone has more character. We show samples so you can compare.
How long does a patio take?
Most patios take three to seven days, depending on size and groundwork.
Do I need planning permission for a patio?
Usually not at the rear. Raised terraces and some front garden paving can need permission.

Yes. We set falls away from the house and add drainage where needed.
