Patios in Kent and South East London

Revamp Your Outdoors with a Custom Patio in Kent or South East London

A patio can transform your outdoor space, creating a stylish and practical area to entertain and relax. Whether a cosy corner or a spacious area, I cover all styles of patios and can help you design and build the perfect patio for your home.

The Importance of Patios

Here’s why a patio is such an important addition to your property.

Create More Usable Space

A patio gives you extra living space outdoors. It’s perfect for enjoying meals with family, hosting friends for BBQs, or simply relaxing. With a patio, you’re making your garden a more inviting place to spend your time.

Boost Your Home’s Value

A high-quality patio adds immediate appeal and can increase the value of your property. If you’re planning to sell your home, a beautiful patio makes a lasting first impression and is a feature that many buyers seek.

Improve the Look of Your Garden

A patio brings order and structure to your garden. It’s a way to create a focal point and can complement your home, making your garden look more polished.

Enjoy Low Maintenance

Unlike wooden decking or other outdoor features, patios are incredibly easy to maintain. Once installed, a patio requires minimal upkeep, allowing you to focus on enjoying your outdoor space instead of worrying about maintenance.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your Patio

Selecting the right materials for your patio is one of the most important decisions of the process. The material you choose impacts the appearance, durability, maintenance, and overall functionality of your space. I can help guide you through the options to find the perfect material for your needs and budget. Here are some of the most popular materials I work with:

Concrete Slabs and Paving

Concrete slabs are the most cost effective option. They provide a sturdy and practical solution for your patio. They offer a simple and functional look that works well across the board.

Natural Stone

For a more traditional and varied appearance, natural stone can be a great option. Available in a range of colours and textures, this material is usually laid in a random pattern to create a more natural effect. While more expensive than concrete, it provides a unique and timeless look.

Granite

Granite is one of the strongest natural materials available. It offers exceptional durability and a premium finish, making it a popular choice. Due to its strength and quality, it comes at a higher price, but it’s a long-term investment in both style and strength.

Porcelain

Porcelain is a modern and stylish option. Highly durable and resistant to weathering, it’s a great choice for low-maintenance patios. Unlike natural stone, porcelain has less variation in colour, giving a clean and uniform finish.

The Process of Installing Your New Patio

From the initial consultation to the final touches, I take care of everything to deliver your perfect patio. Here’s an overview of the process:

  1. Consultation and Design

    We start with a consultation to discuss your vision for the patio. I’ll listen to your ideas, understand your needs, and offer advice on the best design and materials to suit your space.

  1. Site Survey and Planning

    Once we’ve agreed on the design, I’ll visit your property to carry out a site survey. This helps me assess the area, check for any challenges, and plan the layout.

  1. Preparation and Groundwork

    Groundwork is crucial to a patio that will last. Clearing the area, ensuring proper drainage, and laying a solid foundation will prevent future issues.

  1. Installation of the Patio

    I use only the highest-quality materials and the best techniques to lay the paving. Each stone is carefully placed to ensure a flawless finish. During this stage, you can expect minimal disruption. The work area will always be kept tidy and safe.

  1. Finishing Touches

    Once the main patio is placed, I’ll take care of the finishing touches. This includes jointing, cleaning, and sealing the patio to protect it from the weather and give it a polished look. I will also tidy up the area and ensure everything is left clean and in order.

  1. Final Inspection and Handover

    Before I hand the space back to you, I’ll carry out a final inspection to make sure everything meets the highest standards. I’ll walk you through the finished patio, answer any questions you have, and make sure you’re completely satisfied with the result.

Patio Repairs and Refurbishments

Over time, even the most durable patios can experience signs of wear. Whether it’s cracked paving, uneven surfaces, or faded materials, your patio might need a little TLC. I offer professional patio repair and refurbishment to bring your patio back to life. Here’s how I can help:

Repairing Cracked or Damaged Paving

If your patio has cracked or chipped, I can replace or repair the damaged areas. I’ll match the new paving to the existing design, keeping the look consistent.

Re-leveling and Resurfacing

Over time, patios can settle, leading to uneven surfaces. This can be both unsightly and raise hazards. I can re-level your patio, ensuring it’s even and properly supported. If necessary, I can also resurface the area with fresh paving.

Re-grouting and Jointing

Over time, the grout or jointing between the patio slabs can deteriorate. I can replace the grout or re-joint the slabs to ensure your patio stays sturdy.. This process helps prevent weeds from growing through and ensures water drains properly, protecting the integrity of your patio.

Full Patio Refurbishment

If your patio is looking outdated, I can completely refurbish it to give it a new lease of life. Options include replacing worn materials, updating the design, or even expanding the space.

What Customers Say About My Patios

Hear from some of my satisfied clients who have experienced the difference a professionally built or repaired patio makes.

We had a builder do our garden - granite patio and artificial grass. Unfortunately it was a half job left incomplete. John came and fixed all the mistakes - particularly with our steps. There were limited options available without costing us a lot more money by ripping out what had been done and starting again. Luckily John was able to completely rectify the previous mistakes and the steps look amazing - you would never know there had been a problem. John was reliable and honest - we wish we had gone with him in the first place.
