Which options suit homes in Droitwich Spa?

Indian sandstone

A natural stone in buff, grey, brown and mixed tones, with either a riven, textured surface or a smooth sawn finish. Every slab is slightly different, giving a traditional look. Sandstone is more porous than porcelain, so it can weather and pick up algae, and many people seal it after laying to make cleaning easier.

Concrete flags

Cast concrete slabs, smooth or textured, in a wide range of sizes and colours. Concrete flags are the most affordable patio material and are quick to lay. They're heavier and thicker than porcelain, suit low-budget projects or larger areas, and can look very tidy in a simple pattern with neat joints.

How much should you budget in Droitwich Spa?

Expect to budget between £90 and £230 per m² in Droitwich Spa. Indian sandstone on a full sub-base and mortar bed, including dig-out and waste: typically £120–£170 per m².

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.
