Patio & Paving in Fulham
Fulham's mix of Victorian terraces and riverside apartments means gardens here are often compact but high-value spaces, from courtyard patios near Parsons Green to family gardens backing onto the Thames towpath. We work across SW6, including the streets around Bishops Park and Craven Cottage. When it comes to patio & paving in Fulham, that local knowledge matters: Being so close to the Thames, low-lying plots near the river can hold moisture longer than those further inland toward Fulham Broadway, so we plan drainage and planting street by street rather than treating the whole postcode the same.
Why local matters for patio & paving in Fulham
Choosing a team that already works across Fulham and SW6 means we understand the gardens here, the London clay with riverside alluvial pockets ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Fulham and neighbouring Chelsea and Hammersmith, so a visit is easy to arrange.
The base is the patio
We excavate to the correct depth, lay and compact a structural sub-base, and bed every slab on a full mortar bed rather than five spot blobs. Full-bed laying is what stops slabs rocking, cracking and staining, and it is the corner most often cut.
Falls, drainage and the damp course
Every patio is laid with a slight fall so water runs away from your house, never toward it, and we keep paving the correct distance below the damp-proof course. Get this wrong and you invite damp into the building; we design it in from the start.
