Coulsdon gardens often open out towards Farthing Downs and the wider downland, so a smart patio needs to look good year-round and cope with the elements. Porcelain paving delivers a clean, contemporary surface that won’t fade, stain easily, or demand constant sealing. We install patios for entertaining, dining and family use, with careful falls for drainage and a precise, level finish. If you’re in CR5, we can help you choose a style that suits your home and plot.
From large detached houses in Old Coulsdon to 1930s properties in Chipstead Valley and newer developments nearby, we tailor layouts to the way you use your outdoor space. Porcelain works brilliantly for stepped gardens, side returns and wider terraces where you want a seamless indoor–outdoor feel. We also design around existing lawns, borders and mature planting so the patio looks intentional rather than “added on”. For homeowners wanting a refined finish, porcelain paving Coulsdon area projects are a strong, long-term upgrade.
We start with a site visit to measure up, discuss design options and confirm levels, access and drainage. Our team builds a robust sub-base, uses the correct primers and adhesives for porcelain, and finishes with clean joint lines for a sharp look. You’ll get clear communication, a tidy worksite, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Many local clients choose us because we deliver consistent quality and practical advice without pushy sales.
Coulsdon’s semi-rural setting can mean sloping plots, variable ground conditions and tighter access on some roads around Hooley. We plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to keep disruption down, and we set correct falls to handle heavy rain. Where gardens sit near open spaces such as Coulsdon Common, we prioritise slip resistance and easy cleaning to cope with muddy foot traffic. For porcelain paving in London Borough of Croydon, we also consider drainage rules and practical permeability options where needed.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most porcelain paving projects in Coulsdon fall between £90 and £160 per square metre, depending on slab choice, thickness, edging details and the amount of ground preparation required. Typical patio installations often come in around £3,500 to £8,000 for an average garden area. Costs can rise with steps, retaining edges, complex patterns, restricted access, or if old paving and concrete need breaking out and removed.
A straightforward porcelain patio installation usually takes 3–5 days, including excavation, sub-base, bedding, laying and jointing. Timescales can extend if the site has difficult access, steep levels, poor ground that needs extra stabilisation, or if you’re adding steps, drainage channels or lighting ducts. Weather can also affect curing times. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit and keep you updated throughout.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the works affect drainage and run-off. For front gardens, permeable surfaces and suitable drainage are particularly important. We’ll talk through the layout, check any relevant constraints, and advise if you should confirm details with the London Borough of Croydon before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our porcelain paving installations, covering issues such as lifting, rocking slabs and joint failure caused by installation defects. This is backed by correct sub-base construction, appropriate primers and adhesives for porcelain, and careful attention to falls and drainage. Materials are also covered by the manufacturer’s warranty where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included and how to keep your patio looking its best.
Porcelain comes in a wide range of finishes, including stone-effect (for a natural, premium look) and wood-effect planks (for warmth without the upkeep).

We’ll help you choose slab size, joint colour and edging details to suit your home, garden levels and how you plan to use the space.
