Patios questions from Old Coulsdon homeowners
Porcelain or natural stone for a Old Coulsdon garden?
Porcelain is low maintenance and stain resistant, while sandstone and limestone give a softer, traditional look. We bring samples so you can see both against your house.
Can you add lighting and steps?
Yes. LED step lights, wall lights and low-level garden lighting are popular, and we plan the cabling in before the paving goes down.
How do I look after a new porcelain patio?
A sweep and a wash with warm soapy water is usually all it needs. We will leave you simple care notes when we finish.

How we work in Old Coulsdon
We are only minutes away, so access surveys, material drops and follow-up visits are straightforward and we can work around narrow lanes and on-street parking.
A typical Old 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 Old 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 Old Coulsdon, which is why we care as much about how we leave your home each evening as about the finished result.
