Keston's leafy character deserves outdoor spaces that match. Porcelain paving has revolutionised local gardens, particularly around the village green and conservation areas. Unlike traditional stone, these tiles laugh in the face of moss, stains, and the constant leaf fall from mature oaks. Property owners from Commonside to Fishponds Road have discovered how porcelain transforms even modest terraces into sophisticated entertaining areas.
Installation demands precision - each 20mm slab requires perfect levelling on a prepared substrate. The process involves excavating to proper depths, installing Type 1 MOT base, then either a mortar bed or pedestal system depending on drainage requirements. Porcelain's minimal 2mm joints create seamless surfaces, while its non-porous nature means spilled wine at summer barbecues simply wipes away. Technical advantages include frost resistance down to -50°C and slip ratings exceeding British Standards.
Twenty years fitting patios across BR2 means understanding Keston's unique challenges - from preserving tree roots near protected specimens to managing slopes towards Holwood. Local knowledge matters when navigating planning considerations in conservation zones.
