Victorian terraces meet contemporary outdoor living across Mitcham's residential streets. Porcelain paving brings Italian elegance to South London gardens, creating spaces that work as hard as the families who enjoy them.

Those narrow side returns and compact courtyards typical of Mitcham's housing stock deserve flooring that maximises every square metre. Porcelain tiles resist London's unpredictable weather whilst maintaining their sophisticated appearance year after year. Local homeowners increasingly choose this material for its practical beauty – especially families dealing with muddy football boots and barbecue spills throughout summer.
Installation requires precision on London clay soil, particularly near Mitcham Common where ground conditions vary dramatically. Each 20mm porcelain slab gets bedded onto a full mortar base, ensuring stability despite the area's notorious ground movement. Careful gradient calculations prevent pooling – essential when afternoon thunderstorms hit during cricket season at nearby grounds.
Twenty years laying patios between Figges Marsh and Colliers Wood teaches you which materials genuinely last. CR4 residents trust installers who understand local challenges, from preserving mature tree roots to working around original Victorian drainage systems.

Porcelain's near-zero water absorption makes it ideal for Mitcham's climate. Unlike natural stone, these tiles won't crack during January freezes or fade under August sun, maintaining their appearance through every season.
