If you want a sleek patio that stays looking clean with minimal effort, porcelain is a smart choice for Dartford homes. We design and install porcelain paving for gardens across DA1 and DA2, including projects near Central Park and around Greenhithe. Expect crisp lines, consistent colour and a premium feel that suits both compact terraces and larger family gardens. Our patios are built for everyday use, from dining areas to safe walkways.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two gardens are the same. We regularly tailor layouts for narrower plots in Wilmington and side-access installations where materials need careful handling. For newer homes near Bluewater Shopping Centre, clients often choose large-format contemporary designs to match clean architecture. Whatever the property style, we plan levels, drainage and edging so the patio feels integrated rather than “added on”.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measuring and a clear written scope before any ground is broken. We excavate to the correct depth, build a stable sub-base, and use the right adhesives and jointing for porcelain so it performs in UK weather. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear communication and a finish that’s easy to maintain. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, attention to detail and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Working in the porcelain paving Dartford area, we plan for practical access, parking and waste removal, especially on tighter streets around older terraces. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base build-up to suit the site and prevent future movement. We also ensure falls and drainage are set correctly to avoid water sitting on the surface. If any Dartford Borough requirements apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job compliant.

For porcelain paving in Dartford Borough, installed prices typically range from £90–£160 per square metre, depending on slab choice, access and groundwork. Most patio projects come in around £3,500–£8,000 for a well-built area with proper sub-base, cuts and edging. Costs rise with large-format slabs, complex steps, retaining edges, drainage adjustments or restricted access in DA1/DA2 properties.
Most porcelain patio installations take 3–5 days, assuming reasonable access and dry weather. Time is mainly spent on excavation, sub-base compaction, setting levels and falls, then laying and jointing the slabs. Larger areas, complex patterns, steps, or additional drainage can extend the schedule. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after surveying the garden and checking access for materials and waste removal.
In many cases, a garden patio is permitted development and won’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if the work affects drainage, alters levels significantly, or if the property is listed or in a restricted area. We’ll advise on best practice, including managing surface water responsibly. If needed, we can help you understand any Dartford Borough guidance before the installation starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues caused by installation faults such as poor bedding, inadequate sub-base preparation or jointing failures. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by underlying problems outside the work area (for example, broken drains). We’ll also explain the manufacturer’s slab guidance and how to maintain the patio to keep it looking its best.
We supply and install a wide range of porcelain options, including contemporary large-format slabs, stone-effect finishes (like limestone and slate looks) and realistic wood-effect planks. Many clients choose light greys for modern homes or warmer tones to suit period gardens. We’ll help you pick the right size, grout colour and slip rating, and we can recommend edging and steps to complete the design.
