Balham gardens deserve a patio that copes with busy family life and London weather. Our porcelain paving installations are ideal for entertaining after a stroll on Tooting Bec Common or a quick dash to Balham station. Choose a contemporary layout, subtle grout tones, and neat edging for a finish that suits SW12 homes. The result is a smart, practical surface that stays looking fresh with minimal effort.
We work across Balham Hill, Nightingale and Clapham South, where Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with compact rear gardens and side returns. Porcelain is a great match for these spaces because it delivers a premium look without the upkeep of natural stone. We can also help re-level awkward thresholds and steps typical of period properties. Every design is planned to improve flow from kitchen to garden.
From the first site visit, we measure accurately, check drainage falls, and agree a clear specification before work starts. Our team prepares a robust sub-base, uses the correct primer and adhesive for porcelain, and finishes with tidy jointing for long-term stability. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, clean working practices, and workmanship you can rely on. We back our installations with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Many Balham properties have restricted access, basement works nearby, and limited on-street parking around Bedford Hill and Balham High Road. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to reduce disruption and keep the site organised. We also build in proper drainage falls to suit London clay conditions common in the area. If needed, we can advise on permeable details and practical layouts for small SW12 gardens.

For porcelain paving balham area projects, expect around £90–£160 per m² supplied and installed, depending on tile thickness, edging, access and the amount of cutting. Most Balham patios typically come in at £3,500–£8,000 for a well-prepared base, professional fixing and jointing. Steps, drainage channels, lighting ducts or complex patterns will increase the budget, while straightforward rectangles tend to be more cost-effective.
Most porcelain patio installations take 3–5 days once work starts, assuming reasonable access and settled weather. Time is affected by demolition of old paving, ground levels, drainage adjustments and the number of cuts around manholes, bay windows or side returns. Larger areas or added features such as steps and raised planters can extend the programme. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a new garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a listed building, a mansion conversion with shared freehold conditions, or if works alter drainage in a way that affects the public sewer. For porcelain paving in London Borough of Wandsworth, we’ll flag any likely constraints, recommend compliant drainage solutions, and advise when you should check with the council.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our porcelain paving installation workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, poor bonding, or jointing failure under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, heavy impacts, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We also use reputable materials and correct fixing systems to help ensure the patio stays stable and looks great long term.
You can choose from contemporary large-format slabs, subtle concrete looks, and realistic wood effect or stone effect porcelain. Popular options include light greys for modern extensions, warmer buffs for Victorian terraces, and darker tones for a bold contrast. We’ll help you select slip-resistant ratings, grout colours and edge details to suit your garden and lifestyle. Samples can be viewed on site to check colour in natural light.
