Putney homeowners increasingly favour porcelain over traditional materials, and it's easy to see why. The non-porous surface resists everything from riverside moisture to fallen leaves from those mature plane trees lining many SW15 streets. Unlike natural stone that can stain from summer BBQs or develop moss in shaded corners, porcelain maintains its appearance year after year. Properties near Putney Common particularly benefit from this weather-resistant option.
Installation begins with precise ground preparation – crucial given the clay-heavy soil common between Putney Bridge and East Putney stations. A compacted sub-base prevents the settling issues that plague many local patios. Porcelain tiles, typically 20mm thick for external use, are then laid on adjustable pedestals or a full mortar bed, depending on your garden's specific drainage requirements. This technical approach ensures proper water runoff, preventing the pooling problems frequent in SW15's sloped gardens.
Having completed dozens of installations from Putney Hill's grand properties to compact courtyards near the High Street, understanding local conditions matters. Each project receives the same meticulous attention, whether transforming a narrow side return or creating an expansive entertaining area overlooking Barnes Common.

Every installation carries comprehensive 10-year coverage against installation defects. The porcelain itself often includes manufacturer warranties extending 20+ years, reflecting the material's exceptional durability in Putney's variable climate.
Porcelain's extremely low water absorption (under 0.5%) makes it ideal for Putney's climate. Unlike natural stone, it won't crack during winter freezes or fade in summer sun, maintaining its appearance whether facing morning frost or afternoon heat from south-facing aspects.
