Porcelain has revolutionised outdoor flooring in recent years, and Bromley homeowners are catching on fast. Unlike natural stone that stains and shifts, porcelain tiles maintain their appearance through decades of British weather. Victorian terraces in Shortlands and modern developments near Bromley South all benefit from this virtually indestructible surface. The material's resistance to moss and algae means less scrubbing and more relaxing.
Installation begins with excavating to the correct depth, typically 250mm below finished level. A hardcore sub-base gets compacted, followed by a cement-based bedding layer that creates the perfect foundation. Each porcelain tile is individually levelled using a calibrated system, ensuring water runs off correctly. The final stage involves pointing with a specialised jointing compound that flexes with temperature changes, preventing those annoying cracks that plague traditional patios.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with Bromley's clay soil and varying gradients. Having installed patios from tree-lined roads in Bickley to compact courtyards in central Bromley, understanding drainage patterns and ground conditions saves costly mistakes.

Absolutely - BR1 around the town centre, BR2 covering Hayes and Keston, and BR3 including Beckenham are all within our regular working area. Nearby Sundridge and Shortlands residents frequently use our services too.
Most residential porcelain patios take 5-7 working days from excavation to completion. Larger or more complex designs might stretch to 10 days, while a straightforward small patio could be finished within 4 days in good weather.
Every porcelain patio installation includes comprehensive 10-year coverage against installation defects. This protects against issues like subsidence, pointing failure, or drainage problems - essentially anything related to our workmanship rather than manufacturer defects.
Modern porcelain tiles are incredibly strong - typically 20mm thick outdoor grades support over 1,000kg per square metre. Heavy furniture, hot BBQs, and even occasional vehicle access pose no problem when properly installed on a suitable base.
