A well-laid patio turns a small garden into a practical dining and entertaining space. In Colliers Wood, we build patios that look right alongside Victorian terraces and newer developments near Wandle Park and the River Wandle. From compact courtyards to family gardens, we create level, safe surfaces with crisp edges and tidy drainage. We also handle patio extensions to connect existing paving seamlessly.
Homes across SW19 range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, plus modern apartments with shared or smaller outdoor areas. That mix calls for flexible design—slip-resistant finishes for shaded gardens, lighter tones to brighten narrow plots, and robust sub-bases for heavier-use spaces. We’re used to side returns, narrow access and stepped thresholds common around South Wimbledon and Tooting. Every build is measured to fit doors, paths and lawn levels properly.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and access, then provide a clear written quote and schedule. Our team excavates to the correct depth, installs a compacted sub-base, and lays each slab on a full mortar bed for long-term stability. Joints are finished neatly and falls are set to move water away from the house. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, clean working practices, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
The patios Colliers Wood area often sits on mixed ground with pockets of heavier clay near the Wandle, so we prioritise a well-compacted sub-base and reliable drainage. Parking and access can be tight around terraces, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep the street clear. We’re familiar with expectations in patios in London Borough of Merton projects, including sensible water run-off and considerate working hours. Being 10 minutes from Norbury helps us stay responsive throughout the job.

Most projects in SW19 fall within £70–£150 per square metre depending on the material and site conditions. As a guide, typical total costs are around £2,800–£7,500 for a well-prepared base, professional laying, jointing and tidy edges. Porcelain and premium natural stone can sit at the higher end, while simpler layouts and easier access can reduce labour time.
A standard patio installation usually takes 3–5 days, including excavation, sub-base preparation, laying, and finishing. Larger patios, complex patterns, multiple steps, or extensive groundwork can extend the programme. Weather also matters—heavy rain can slow excavation and curing. If you’re adding a patio extension, we’ll check levels and matching details, which can add time but improves the final result.
In many cases, a patio in a rear garden is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, or the property is listed or in a conservation area. Drainage is also important—water should soak away within your garden rather than run to the street. We’ll flag any concerns and advise if you should check with Merton Council before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our patio builds. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation or poor laying practice, provided the patio is used normally and not altered by others. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included in writing, along with care guidance to keep your patio looking its best.
We install Natural Stone Patios and Porcelain Patios, with popular choices including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone. Design options range from clean, large-format porcelain for modern gardens to warmer, riven sandstone for period homes. We can add borders, steps, recessed drains, and patio extensions to link paths and seating areas. We’ll bring samples, discuss slip resistance and colour, then recommend the best layout for your space and budget.
