If you want a patio that looks sharp in every season, porcelain is hard to beat. We design and install porcelain paving for homes across East Dulwich and Dulwich Village, creating clean, contemporary outdoor spaces that suit period gardens. From family terraces near Dulwich Park to compact courtyards in SE22, we tailor the layout, edging and drainage to your plot. Expect a finish that’s easy to keep looking pristine.
Dulwich’s Georgian and Victorian houses often come with mature gardens, side returns and steps that need careful setting-out. We regularly work on larger detached properties as well as townhouses where access is tighter and protection of existing brickwork matters. Our porcelain paving Dulwich area projects are planned around your home’s architecture, whether you prefer a minimal grid pattern or a softer, mixed-size design. We also match paving tones to common Southwark brick and stone details.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on slab choice, jointing and falls. Your patio is built on a proper sub-base, with accurate levels and drainage so water runs where it should. We keep the site tidy, communicate daily, and finish with a full handover and care advice. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent costs, and a long-term warranty.
Many gardens around SE21–SE24 sit behind narrow side access, so we plan deliveries, cutting areas and waste removal carefully. Southwark parking controls can affect skip placement and loading, and we’ll advise on permits where needed. We also account for typical clay-heavy ground and existing garden levels, building robust sub-bases and accurate falls. The result is porcelain paving in London Borough of Southwark that stays level and drains well.

For porcelain paving in Dulwich, most homeowners budget around £90–£160 per m², depending on slab quality, cutting complexity and the build-up required. Typical total project costs are often £3,500–£8,000 for a patio, including groundworks, sub-base, bedding, jointing and waste removal. Steps, retaining edges, drainage channels and restricted access (common in SE21–SE24) can increase costs.
Most porcelain patio installations take 3–5 days, assuming straightforward access and stable ground conditions. Timescales can extend if we’re removing an old patio, correcting poor levels, adding drainage, or building steps and raised planters. Weather can also affect excavation and curing times. After a site visit, we’ll provide a clear programme so you know what happens each day and when you can use the space.
In many cases, a garden patio 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. Some Dulwich streets have additional constraints, especially around period properties. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check Southwark guidance before work starts.
