Dulwich homeowners increasingly favour porcelain over traditional paving materials. The large-format tiles complement both period properties around Dulwich Village and newer builds near Goose Green. Unlike natural stone, porcelain resists moss growth under those towering plane trees that characterise our leafy streets.
Installation requires precision on Dulwich's clay-heavy soil. Proper base preparation prevents shifting, while calibrated tiles ensure perfect drainage away from your property. Each 20mm thick slab withstands freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. The non-porous surface means red wine spills during summer gatherings simply wipe clean.
Twenty years laying patios between Herne Hill station and Dulwich Picture Gallery taught us which techniques work locally. Neighbours often stop to admire completed projects, particularly the seamless indoor-outdoor transitions we create.

Most Dulwich gardens require £8,000-£15,000 including groundwork. Smaller courtyards near East Dulwich station might start around £5,000, whilst extensive entertaining areas can reach £25,000 depending on tile selection and site complexity.
Absolutely - from West Dulwich's spacious gardens to compact East Dulwich yards. Regular projects span SE21's tree-lined avenues, SE22's Victorian conversions, and SE24's terraced properties near Herne Hill.
Standard installations take 5-8 days from excavation to completion. You'll be hosting barbecues within two weeks of starting, weather permitting. Larger multi-level designs might extend to three weeks.
Every installation includes decade-long coverage against installation defects. The porcelain itself carries manufacturer backing for frost resistance and colour stability - particularly important given Dulwich's mature tree canopy creating variable shade patterns.
Definitely - each tile supports over 1000kg when properly installed. Heavy teak dining sets, stone planters, even hot tubs pose no issue. The 20mm thickness specifically suits residential use without compromising on strength.
