Which options suit homes in Bloxwich?

Limestone and slate

Limestone gives a soft, even colour, usually in grey, blue-black or buff, while slate is dark, fine-grained and often used for contemporary gardens. Both are natural stones with their own character and cost a little more than sandstone. Slate can be slippery when wet in shaded spots, so we'll talk about texture and position before you choose.

Porcelain paving

Thin, dense tiles made for outdoor use, with very low water absorption, so they resist staining, moss and fading. Porcelain needs a bonding primer on the back of each slab and a full mortar bed, because ordinary mortar won't stick to it. It's precise to cut and lay, which shows in the price, but it's easy to keep clean.

Questions about patios in Bloxwich

How much does a new patio cost?

In the West Midlands, patios usually cost around £90–£130 per m² in concrete flags, £120–£175 per m² in Indian sandstone and £140–£230 per m² in porcelain, laid on a full sub-base with waste removal.

How do I book a survey in Bloxwich?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your patio and arrange a time to visit.

What guarantee do I get on a new patio?

Paving materials come with their manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for your patio are set out in your quote. Natural stone varies by nature, so colour and texture differences between slabs are normal rather than faults. Ask us anything about the specification before you sign.

Will I need permission from the council in Bloxwich?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Walsall Council would need to give listed building consent first.
