Walk through Wimbledon Village and you'll spot them – original Victorian pathways that have weathered over a century. Many homeowners in SW19 wrestle with crumbling entrance paths that no longer complement their property's character. Traditional tile patterns, from classic black and white chequerboard to intricate encaustic designs, bring that authentic period feel back to life. The spacious front gardens typical of this area provide perfect canvases for these timeless installations.
Authentic reproduction tiles now offer frost resistance that Victorian builders could only dream about. Proper substrate preparation prevents the settling issues common in London clay soil. Geometric borders frame the main pattern whilst drainage channels disguised within the design tackle those persistent puddles near Victorian bay windows. Each pathway requires careful planning to navigate existing tree roots from mature plantings without compromising structural integrity.
