Patio installation in London

A patio should give you a useful place to sit and move between the house and garden. Its shape and position need to work with doors, paths and the space you want to keep for planting or lawn.

What the service covers

A useful patio fits the way you want to spend time outside. We discuss where you would sit, how you move between the house and garden and which parts of the space should stay as lawn or planting. Those decisions help establish the shape before the paving is selected.

The patio also needs to work with its surroundings. Doors, existing paths, ground levels and water movement affect the layout and preparation. We look at those connections early, so the quotation describes a considered installation rather than a surface area with the important edges left unresolved.

How it works

Photograph the proposed area from the house and from the garden. Mark roughly where you imagine the patio finishing, and think about furniture with room for people to move around it. Tell us whether you want an existing area renewed, extended or replaced with a different shape.

Include close pictures of damaged paving and places where water gathers. In a London terrace, access may run through the house or along a narrow passage, so show that route in full. Mention steps, shared entrances and restrictions on where materials can be handled. You do not need a finished design to start the enquiry.

During assessment, we look at the existing surface, ground and proposed finished area. We consider the relationship to doors and nearby paving, along with any changes in level or drainage concerns. Planting to retain and access to drains or services are also useful to identify before the work is planned.

A ground-level patio and a raised scheme can have different planning considerations. Check with your local council where levels or property restrictions make permission relevant. We agree the quotation and specification, plan the work and manage the patio installation from start to finish.

✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK

Your questions answered

Can you extend an existing patio?+

Yes. We assess the proposed extension alongside the existing patio, looking at the connection, surface condition and appearance. Show the whole area so we can discuss whether retaining and extending it is a practical way forward.

Do I need exact measurements to enquire?+

Approximate measurements are enough to begin a conversation when accompanied by clear photographs. Include the proposed outline, the house entrance and access route. The assessed dimensions and scope are then used for the job quotation.

Is old paving removal included?+

We include removal where it forms part of the agreed job. Photograph the existing surface and tell us what you want taken out or retained. The quotation explains how that preparation fits with the new installation.

Can steps be considered with the patio?+

Yes. A change in level is easier to plan when the patio and steps are considered together. Photograph both areas and describe the route you want to use, so the connection can be assessed with the paving.
