FAQ

Patio questions we hear most often.

How much does a patio cost in Worcestershire?

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.

What's the best patio material for British weather?

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.

How long does patio installation take?

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.

Do you handle drainage?

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.

Can you match a patio to an existing driveway?

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.
