Catford homeowners are choosing porcelain for patios that look sharp year-round and stay easy to clean. Whether you’re near Catford Broadway or a short walk from Mountsfield Park, we design paving that suits your garden layout and lifestyle. Porcelain is ideal for entertaining areas, dining terraces and neat paths. Expect clean lines, consistent colour and a premium finish.
We regularly work across SE6, including Hither Green, Bellingham and Grove Park, so we understand the mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes. These properties often have compact gardens, side access constraints and uneven levels to manage. We plan falls, thresholds and drainage carefully so the patio sits neatly against the house. The result is a space that looks intentional, not “added on”.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measuring and a written specification for the build-up, edging and pointing. We excavate properly, install a stable sub-base, then lay porcelain with the correct adhesives and jointing for longevity. You’ll get tidy workmanship, respectful neighbours-first working and transparent updates throughout. Local clients trust us for consistent standards and a finish that performs in all weathers.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often see clay-heavy ground and gardens that hold water after rain, so drainage and falls are planned from day one. Catford streets can mean limited parking and narrow access, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We’re used to working around extensions, steps and basement lightwells typical of local terraces and semis. That local know-how helps keep the job smooth and the finish level and long-lasting.

For porcelain paving catford area projects, budgets typically fall between £90–£160 per square metre supplied and installed, depending on tile choice, access and groundworks. Many Catford patios come in around £3,500–£8,000 overall, influenced by size, excavation depth, drainage needs and edging details. We’ll confirm a tailored range after a site visit and measurements, with a clear breakdown of what’s included.
Most porcelain patios take 3–5 days from excavation to final clean-down, assuming straightforward access and typical weather. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, building steps, installing drainage channels, or working around restricted side access common in SE6 terraces. Tile size and cutting complexity also affect duration. We’ll give a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working near boundaries, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may apply. For projects involving front gardens, surface water management is especially important. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on best practice, and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Lewisham if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues such as sub-base failure, loose tiles caused by poor bedding, and jointing problems under normal use. It’s designed to give peace of mind that the patio has been built correctly, not just made to look good on day one. Manufacturer warranties on the porcelain itself vary by brand and finish, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen tiles.
You can choose from contemporary large-format slabs, subtle concrete-look greys, warm stone effect tones, and realistic wood effect porcelain for a softer feel. We also offer slip-resistant finishes suited to family gardens and shaded areas. We’ll help you match colour and size to your house style, check how it looks in different light, and recommend grout and edging details for a cohesive design across the patio and paths.
