Patios questions from Coulsdon homeowners

How long does a patio take to lay in Coulsdon?

Most patios take one to two weeks depending on size, ground conditions and any steps or walls. We give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Will the patio drain properly?

Yes. We lay every patio with a gentle fall away from the house and add channel drains or soakaways where the ground is heavy.

Can you remove my old patio or decking?

Yes. We clear, take away and dispose of the old surface as part of the job, under our waste carrier licence.

How we work in Coulsdon

Being local means we can drop in for a look the same week, return quickly for snagging and keep deliveries tightly scheduled so materials are not sitting on the pavement for days.

A typical Coulsdon patio runs to three to seven working days. We lift and clear the old surface, excavate to depth, compact the base in layers, then lay, cut and point the paving. Cuts around drains, manholes and steps are made on site so the pattern runs true, and we finish with brush-in jointing compound and a clean edge detail. Steps, sleeper edging and retaining walls can all be built into the same project where your garden changes level.

Every Coulsdon project starts with a free, no-obligation site visit. We measure up, talk through materials and options, then send a written, itemised quote so you can see exactly what is included. We are insured, hold a waste carrier licence and every employee on site is enhanced DBS checked. Most of our work comes from word of mouth in and around Coulsdon, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.
