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.

Client Advice
Check how edges will be finished
Check how waste will be handled
Excavating for a new patio can produce soil, old paving and other material that needs to be removed or reused. Ask whether waste removal is included in the quotation and what materials are expected to remain on site.
Clarifying responsibility for disposal beforehand helps you understand both the project cost and the condition in which the site should be left.
Understand the payment terms
Confirm when payments will be required and whether a deposit is requested before materials are ordered or work begins. For larger patio projects, ask whether staged payments apply and what stage of completion each payment relates to.
Recording the agreed payment arrangements gives both you and the provider a clear point of reference.
Ask how underground services are considered
Excavation may be required across the proposed patio area, so tell the provider about any underground pipes, cables, drainage or other services you know are present. Ask how these will be considered when planning the work.
The appropriate precautions depend on the individual property, making early discussion important before excavation begins.
Ask how your garden will be protected
Patio installation can involve excavation, deliveries, machinery and movement of heavy materials through the property. Ask how lawns, paths, planting, walls and other areas along the access route will be treated during the project.
It is also useful to agree where paving, aggregates and excavated material can be temporarily stored.
Ask about the patio foundations
A finished patio conceals much of the preparation beneath it, so ask how the company proposes to construct the base. The appropriate excavation depth and sub-base can depend on the existing ground, intended use and paving system.
Ask for the main preparation stages to be explained and included within the agreed scope of work.

Andy and team did our patio over the summer and it’s been great. They worked through the groundwork properly and you could see they weren’t cutting corners.
The paving sits flat, nothing rocks when you walk across it and the joints look neat without being fussy. We’ve had a few downpours since and it’s drained exactly how you’d hope.

Andy and team did our patio and the whole process felt well paced. They took time getting the groundwork right and then laid the paving so everything sat flat.
The joints are neat and the edges look clean without being overly fussy. We’ve had furniture on it and plenty of foot traffic and it still feels really stable. It’s made the garden feel far more usable and we’re outside a lot more now.

Patio edges can meet lawns, flower beds, walls, paths or other surfaces, so ask how these transitions will be completed. Find out whether edging, kerbs, restraints or another finishing method forms part of the proposed installation where appropriate.
Agreeing these details beforehand helps establish what the completed boundaries of the patio should look like.
