Battersea's mix of period properties and modern developments calls for patio solutions that bridge traditional charm with contemporary durability. Porcelain slabs resist the moss and algae that plague London's damp climate, staying pristine through riverside fog and urban pollution. From compact courtyards near Clapham Junction station to sprawling gardens overlooking Battersea Park, these tiles adapt beautifully to any space.
Installation begins with excavating approximately 250mm below finished level, crucial given SW11's clay-heavy soil composition. A MOT Type 1 sub-base gets compacted in layers, followed by sharp sand screed for millimetre-perfect levelling. Each 20mm porcelain slab locks into place using specialised adhesive, creating joints that won't sprout weeds or collect debris. The entire system drains naturally, preventing those puddles that turn British patios into paddling pools.
Having transformed gardens from the Shaftesbury Estate to riverside penthouses, understanding Battersea's unique drainage challenges comes second nature. Every installation carries comprehensive insurance, while our teams work quietly - essential when your neighbours are just a party wall away.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Battersea gardens range 25-50m², costing between £4,500-£9,000 including groundwork. Smaller courtyard spaces start around £2,800, while larger Victorian plots might reach £12,000 for premium finishes.
Absolutely - from Queenstown Road to Wandsworth Common, plus neighbouring Nine Elms developments and Chelsea borders. Regular projects span the entire SW11 postcode.
Standard 30m² installations complete within 4-5 working days, weather permitting. Compact courtyards often finish in 2-3 days, while complex designs with steps or curves need 6-7 days.
Each project includes decade-long coverage on both materials and workmanship. Porcelain itself resists fading, staining and frost damage far beyond the warranty period - many Italian manufacturers test their tiles for 50+ years durability.
Definitely - 20mm porcelain slabs support over 1000kg per square metre when properly installed. Heavy planters, cast iron furniture, even hot tubs pose no problems. The tiles won't crack under thermal shock from BBQ ash or dropped wine glasses either.
