Our Patio Installation Process
We begin with site assessment and design discussions, considering your space, intended use, and preferred paving materials, with patios available in various sizes depending on your requirements. Excavation removes topsoil and existing surfaces to the required depth, allowing for sub-base and paving thickness. Type 1 hardcore is laid and compacted in layers, creating a stable, load-bearing foundation.
Edge restraints are installed to contain the sub-base and prevent lateral movement. A bedding layer is screeded to correct falls, ensuring water drains away from buildings and doesn't pool on the patio surface.
Indian sandstone, concrete paving, porcelain, block paving, or concrete patios are laid with consistent joints, cut neatly around obstacles, and bedded firmly. Resin grout is used where specified, and the completed patio is cleaned and inspected before handover.
Patio Installation FAQs
Why is sub-base compaction so important for patios?
Proper compaction prevents settlement, sinking, and uneven surfaces over time. We compact Type 1 hardcore in layers, ensuring each layer is thoroughly consolidated before adding the next. This creates a stable, load-bearing foundation that supports the paving and resists movement even under furniture or foot traffic. Value-focused pricing reflects the time and care needed to do this right.
How do you ensure water drains away from the house?
We calculate and install drainage falls, typically 1:60 or 1:80, that direct water away from buildings towards garden areas or drainage points. Falls are built into the sub-base and maintained through the bedding layer, with ACO plastic drainage installed where required to manage surface water effectively. This attention to detail prevents damp issues and keeps your patio usable even after heavy rain.
What paving materials are most durable for patios?
Indian sandstone in a wide range of colours, concrete paving in multiple finishes including grey and cream, porcelain in various colours and sizes, block paving patios, and concrete patios all offer excellent durability when properly installed. We recommend materials based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and the patio's intended use. Transparent quotes cover both materials and professional installation.
Can you install patios over existing concrete bases?
If the existing concrete is sound, level, and has adequate drainage, we can overlay it with suitable paving using appropriate methods. If the base is cracked, uneven, or poorly drained, removal and proper sub-base installation deliver better long-term results. We assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How long does a patio installation typically take?
Most domestic patios are completed within 3 to 7 days, depending on size, complexity, and ground conditions. Larger projects or those requiring extensive drainage work may take longer. We provide realistic timelines at the outset and keep you informed throughout, ensuring fair and honest rates with no hidden delays.
What maintenance does a patio require?
Regular sweeping to remove debris and occasional pressure washing keeps paving looking fresh. Re-pointing or maintaining resin grout joints helps prevent weed growth and maintains stability. These simple routines ensure your patio remains attractive and functional for many years.
