Streatham's mix of period properties and newer builds each present unique patio challenges. Whether you're working with the compact courtyard of an Edwardian conversion or the generous plot of a 1930s semi, porcelain offers durability that laughs at British weather. The material's non-porous surface means no more green algae creeping across your outdoor space come February.
Installation requires precision on London clay soil. First comes excavation to 250mm, then MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted in layers. A mortar bed follows, calibrated for drainage towards your property's soakaway. Each 20mm porcelain slab gets individually levelled – critical when dealing with Streatham's sloping gardens that run down towards the Wandle Valley.
Twenty years fitting patios from Streatham Hill down to Furzedown teaches you which suppliers actually deliver on time. Local knowledge matters when your access route runs through a narrow Victorian side return.

Budget £4,500-£7,000 for a typical 30m² installation. Smaller courtyards around £3,000, while those lucky souls with 50m² gardens might reach £9,000. Includes groundwork, materials and waste removal.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas near Streatham Common station (SW16) right across to the Brixton borders (SW2). Regular projects in Furzedown and up Streatham Hill too.
Most Streatham patios take 5-7 working days, weather permitting. Larger installations or tricky access might stretch to 10 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline after seeing your space.
Your porcelain patio comes with decade-long protection against installation defects. The tiles themselves resist cracking better than natural stone – we've seen them survive everything from dropped barbecues to enthusiastic football practice.
Perfect choice actually. Unlike natural stone, porcelain won't develop that green film in damp, shaded spots. The sealed surface stops moss taking hold, though we'll still recommend appropriate drainage for areas under heavy tree cover.
