A well-laid patio turns unused lawn into a practical outdoor room for dining, entertaining and low-maintenance living. We install patios across CR7, with recent projects near Thornton Heath station and around Grangewood Park. Whether you want a neat seating area or a full patio extension, we focus on levels, edging and drainage so it performs in all weathers. Expect clean finishes and materials chosen to suit your home’s style.
Thornton Heath’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with long, narrow gardens and side access constraints. We plan layouts that maximise space without making the garden feel hard or cramped. For period properties, we can match tones and textures with sympathetic natural stone. For more modern updates, porcelain paving gives a sharp, contemporary look with easy upkeep.
We start with a site survey, discuss how you’ll use the area, then confirm levels, falls and the right sub-base before any paving goes down. Our team prepares the ground properly, uses quality jointing, and keeps the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us because we’re close by (around 5 minutes from our Norbury base), we turn up when we say we will, and we back our workmanship with a clear warranty. You’ll get straightforward advice, not pushy sales.
Across the patios Thornton Heath area, ground conditions can vary between compacted clay and made-up ground from older gardens, so we tailor excavation depth and sub-base build-up accordingly. Many streets around Broad Green and Selhurst have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider surface water run-off and practical drainage solutions that suit London Borough of Croydon expectations. The result is paving that looks right and behaves properly year-round.

Most patio projects in CR7 fall within £70–£150 per square metre depending on the material, ground preparation and detailing. As a guide, typical total costs are around £2,800–£7,500 for many Thornton Heath gardens. Natural stone and porcelain can sit at different points in that range, especially if you add steps, drainage channels, retaining edges or complex patterns. We’ll measure up and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
A standard patio installation usually takes 3–5 days, depending on size, access and the amount of groundwork required. Time can increase if we’re removing old concrete, correcting significant level issues, or adding features such as steps, raised planters or a patio extension. Weather also plays a part, particularly for curing times and jointing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before we start and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a patio at ground level is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working close to boundaries. We also pay attention to surface water management so run-off doesn’t cause issues. If any approvals or checks are needed, we’ll flag them early and help you understand what Croydon Council is likely to require.
Yes. Our patio installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues linked to installation such as sub-base failure, movement caused by poor preparation, or jointing problems. It’s designed to give homeowners confidence that the patio has been built correctly from the ground up. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or natural wear of the paving surface over time. We’ll explain care guidance to help it stay looking its best.
