Cheam homeowners often want a patio that looks sharp without constant upkeep, especially for busy family gardens near Cheam Village and Nonsuch Park. Porcelain paving delivers a contemporary finish with consistent colour and precise edges. It’s also a great choice for entertaining areas, outdoor dining and garden rooms. We install patios across SM2 and SM3 with careful ground preparation and accurate falls for drainage.
From period cottages in the conservation area to 1930s houses and larger executive homes, outdoor spaces in Cheam vary widely. Many rear gardens need a patio that complements brickwork, bay windows and mature planting. We help you choose sizes, tones and laying patterns that suit your property’s character while keeping the look current. For homes in North Cheam, Worcester Park and Ewell, we also plan access routes and material handling to minimise disruption.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification, then we schedule a 3–5 day installation for most patios. We use proper sub-base build-ups, full-bed adhesive and grout systems designed for porcelain, not shortcuts. Edges, steps and thresholds are finished neatly, with slip-resistant options where needed. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are handled quickly.
Cheam gardens can have variable ground conditions and mature tree roots, particularly near Cheam Recreation Ground and older streets. We adjust excavation depths and sub-base design to suit soil and loading, then set correct falls away from the house. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things moving. We also match paving choices to Sutton property styles, from traditional frontages to modern extensions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For porcelain paving in Cheam, most homeowners budget £90–£160 per square metre supplied and installed, depending on tile quality, thickness, cuts and edging details. Typical total project costs are often £3,500–£8,000 for an average patio, including groundworks and waste removal. Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels and complex patterns can increase the overall spend, while simple rectangular layouts usually sit at the lower end.
Most porcelain patio projects take around 3–5 days on site, depending on size and the amount of groundwork required. Timescales can extend if we’re removing old concrete, dealing with poor sub-bases, adding steps or installing drainage. Restricted access in SM2/SM3 can also affect material handling and skip placement. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring levels and checking the existing surface.
In many cases, a porcelain patio in the rear garden is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, or affecting drainage to the public highway. For front gardens, surface water management can be important. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on Sutton council considerations before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our porcelain paving installations, covering issues such as lifting caused by installation faults, poor falls leading to persistent standing water, and jointing failures due to incorrect methods. Materials typically also come with manufacturer guarantees, which vary by brand. The warranty assumes normal domestic use and appropriate care, and we’ll explain cleaning and maintenance so the patio keeps its finish.
You can choose from contemporary large-format slabs, subtle stone effect finishes, and realistic wood effect planks that suit modern extensions and traditional homes alike. Popular colours include warm beiges, mid-greys and charcoal tones, with options for slip-resistant textures. We’ll help you pick the right size, grout colour and edging detail, then confirm the layout with a clear plan so the patio fits your garden proportions.
