How much does patio & paving cost in Wandsworth?

Patio cost depends on the paving material and how much excavation and base-building the site needs. Porcelain costs more than sandstone but needs almost no upkeep. We quote materials and labour separately so the choice is yours. Every Wandsworth garden is different, so we always quote after seeing your space rather than over the phone.

Wandsworth's family homes around Wandsworth Common and the River Wandle typically come with proper rear gardens, giving real scope for design rather than just a small courtyard. We cover garden design, landscaping and maintenance throughout SW18. When it comes to patio & paving in Wandsworth, that local knowledge matters: Plots closer to the Wandle valley tend to hold more moisture than those on higher ground near the Common, so we assess drainage individually before recommending planting or hard landscaping.

Why local matters for patio & paving in Wandsworth

Choosing a team that already works across Wandsworth and SW18 means we understand the gardens here, the clay with sandy river-terrace ground near the Wandle ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes patio & paving last in this part of London. We're regularly in Wandsworth and neighbouring Putney and Battersea, 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.
