Wandsworth's mix of period properties and new developments demands versatile outdoor solutions. Porcelain paving answers that call brilliantly. Unlike traditional stone that stains from fallen mulberries or shows every muddy paw print, these engineered tiles shrug off whatever London weather – or family life – throws their way. Those compact courtyard gardens between terraced houses suddenly feel twice the size with the right layout.
Installation requires precision on London clay soil. First comes ground preparation with proper drainage channels – essential given how water pools in SW18's heavy earth. Next, a reinforced sub-base prevents the shifting that plagues lesser patios. Finally, each 20mm porcelain slab gets individually levelled using adjustable pedestals or a full mortar bed, depending on your garden's quirks.
Twenty years handling Wandsworth's sloping gardens and awkward access paths means anticipating problems before they arise. Every project starts with understanding how you'll actually use the space, not imposing cookie-cutter designs.

Most Wandsworth gardens fall between £8,000-£15,000, though compact courtyards might start around £5,000. Larger family spaces with integrated lighting or multi-level designs can reach £20,000+.
Absolutely – from Southfields Station to Earlsfield's residential streets, throughout SW18 and into neighbouring Battersea. Regular projects span the whole borough.
Typically 5-8 working days for standard installations. Complex designs with steps or water features might stretch to two weeks, weather permitting.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against defects. The porcelain itself resists fading, frost damage and staining far beyond that timeframe – these surfaces genuinely last generations.
Definitely. The modular nature allows creative cuts around established roots without compromising stability. Many SW18 gardens have protected trees – we design around them regularly.
