Why our patios
A patio is only as good as the build underneath it.
Cracked slabs, sunken corners, water pooling against the back wall — all symptoms of one thing: shortcuts below the surface. We don't take them.
Proper foundations
100–150mm of compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base. The thing budget installers skimp on — it's why their patios sink and lift.
Built-in drainage
Minimum 1:80 fall away from the building, with drainage where needed. No standing water, no green slime in winter.
Premium materials
Porcelain, sandstone, concrete or block — sourced from established UK manufacturers with proper colour warranties.
Full service
Old patio removal, levelling, edging, steps, and a clean walk-around at handover. Nothing left for you to sort out.
Design flexibility
Multiple sizes, finishes and laying patterns. We'll bring samples to the site visit so you can see them in your light.
5-year written guarantee
Workmanship guarantee on every installation. In writing, in your portal, yours to keep.
