Porcelain
From £85/m²Slim, modern, virtually stain-proof — the contemporary patio benchmark.
Frost-proof · Low-maintenance · Slip-rated R11

A new patio in Worcestershire starts at £45/m² for concrete slabs, £55/m² for Indian sandstone, £85/m² for porcelain and £95/m² for natural stone, supplied and installed, and a typical garden patio takes three to six working days. Porcelain is the contemporary benchmark — slim, frost-proof, virtually stain-proof and slip-rated R11, which is why it suits dining areas and gardens with overhanging trees. Indian sandstone remains the British classic for period homes because it is naturally non-slip and ages well. Natural stone suits listed and heritage properties; concrete slabs suit side passages and large utility areas. Whichever you pick, the sub-base and the falls decide whether it stays flat and drains, so we survey the ground first. Seastone Driveways & Patios is family-run, guarantees workmanship for five years in writing, and takes no money before completion.
Porcelain, natural stone, sandstone and concrete — we lay all the major patio materials and recommend the one that suits your garden, drainage and budget. Not the most expensive.
Every patio comes with a proper sub-base, hidden drainage, sharp edge detailing and a five-year written workmanship guarantee.
We lay all four — porcelain, natural stone, sandstone and concrete slabs. The right choice depends on your garden's aspect, drainage and how you want it to age.

Patio prices vary by material and size. As a guide: a 25–35 m² Indian sandstone patio is typically £1,800–£3,200, porcelain £2,800–£4,500, and natural stone £3,500–£6,000. We give a written quote within 24 hours of the site visit.
Porcelain has the edge for resilience — it's frost-proof, doesn't stain and stays virtually maintenance-free for decades. Indian sandstone is the classic choice and ages beautifully if sealed. Both work well in Worcestershire's climate.
A standard 25–40 m² patio takes 4–7 working days end-to-end: 1–2 days for excavation and sub-base, 2–3 days for laying, plus jointing and finishing. Larger or stepped patios run 7–14 days.
Always. Every patio gets a 1:80 fall away from the property, with hidden drainage where needed. We're used to Worcestershire's clay soil and design SUDS-compliant solutions for new builds.
Yes — we often co-ordinate patio and driveway projects. We'll match block tones, jointing colour and edge details so the front and back of the property feel deliberately designed together.
