Those Victorian terraces throughout Catford deserve outdoor spaces that match their character. Porcelain paving brings Italian elegance to SE6 gardens, standing up to whatever London weather throws at it.

Catford's mix of period properties and modern developments each present unique patio opportunities. Whether you're working with a compact courtyard behind a Corbett estate home or planning something grander for those larger plots near Mountsfield Park, porcelain offers versatility that traditional materials can't match. The material's inherent strength handles our notorious clay soil movement without cracking.
Installation demands precision - especially given SE6's varying ground conditions. Proper substrate preparation prevents the pooling issues common on Catford's gentle slopes. Full-bed adhesion rather than spot-fixing ensures each 20mm slab bonds permanently. Careful joint spacing accommodates thermal movement whilst maintaining that crisp, contemporary aesthetic homeowners love.
Twenty years installing patios across South London taught us which materials genuinely perform. Porcelain's near-zero absorption rate matters when autumn leaves from Ladywell Fields blow across your patio all winter.

Most Catford gardens fall into the £4,500-£8,000 bracket, though larger spaces near Bellingham can reach £12,000. Factors include existing drainage, access restrictions, and whether you're keeping those original London stock brick borders.
Absolutely - from the Catford Bridge end right through to properties backing onto Beckenham Place Park. Regular projects take us along Bromley Road, around the Broadway, and into those quieter streets off Rushey Green.
Typically 8-12 working days for an average SE6 property. Smaller courtyards sometimes complete within a week, whilst more complex designs incorporating steps or raised planters might stretch to three weeks.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against manufacturing defects and installation issues. This encompasses frost damage, colour fading, and structural movement - particularly relevant given Catford's clay soil challenges.
Definitely - at 20mm thickness, quality porcelain exceeds the strength of natural stone. Heavy planters, hot tub installations, even cars on driveways pose no problem. The material won't stain from rust marks or BBQ grease either.
