A well-built patio makes the most of Coulsdon’s semi-rural feel and easy access to open spaces like Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. We create terraces for dining, entertaining and low-maintenance lounging, with levels and drainage set out properly from day one. Whether you want a new seating area or a larger layout, we tailor the design to your garden’s shape and sun. Expect crisp edges, stable paving, and a finish that complements your home.
Homes across CR5 range from large detached houses in Old Coulsdon to 1930s properties and newer developments around Chipstead Valley and Hooley. Each style benefits from different paving choices—sleek porcelain for modern builds, or warmer tones of sandstone and limestone for traditional gardens. We also plan transitions to lawns, steps and raised beds so the patio feels like part of the whole landscape. If you’re considering patio extensions, we’ll match or sympathetically contrast existing materials.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, access and how water currently moves through the garden. Your patio is then built on a properly compacted sub-base with falls set for drainage, and joints finished for durability and a neat look. We keep disruption down with clear daily updates and careful waste removal. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing, and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from freer-draining slopes near Coulsdon Common to heavier ground in sheltered plots. We adjust excavation depth, sub-base build-up and drainage details to suit the site, especially where levels fall away from the house. Access and parking can differ between detached driveways and tighter frontages, so we plan deliveries and skips to minimise inconvenience. We also keep an eye on boundary lines and any nearby trees when setting out foundations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most patios in the Coulsdon area fall between £70–£150 per square metre, depending on the paving type, groundworks and edging details. As a guide, many homeowners spend around £2,800–£7,500 for a typical garden seating area. Porcelain and premium natural stone usually sit at the higher end, while simpler sandstone layouts can be more cost-effective. Site access, drainage and steps can also affect the total.
A standard patio installation typically takes 3–5 days, including excavation, sub-base, laying and jointing. Larger patio extensions, complex patterns, multiple levels or added drainage may push the programme longer. Weather can also affect curing times and jointing, especially in colder or wetter spells. We’ll confirm a clear schedule after the site visit, and we plan deliveries and waste removal so the job keeps moving without unnecessary delays.
In most cases, a patio in a rear garden is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly or affecting drainage to public areas. We also consider permeable solutions and correct falls to avoid water run-off issues. If anything looks borderline, we’ll advise and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our patio installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor compaction or incorrect laying. It also covers problems linked to our jointing and edging details where applicable. Normal wear, accidental damage, and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll also explain how to maintain your paving—especially porcelain and natural stone—so it continues to look its best.
We install Natural Stone Patios and Porcelain Patios, including Indian sandstone, slate and limestone in a range of colours and finishes. Popular choices in Coulsdon include warm sandstone for traditional gardens and light porcelain for clean, modern lines. We can build simple rectangles, wraparound patio extensions, or zoned layouts with steps and contrasting borders. We’ll help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, shade, and how the paving complements your property.
