Planning your patio in Pelsall

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Pelsall. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

A patio next to the house should finish at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course.
Porcelain needs a bonding primer and a full mortar bed to stay fixed.
Steps should have even risers so they're safe to use in the dark.

Options to consider in Pelsall

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.

Steps, edging and low walls

Most gardens aren't flat, so patios often need a step down to the lawn, a low retaining wall or a raised planter. Steps should have even risers and a firm edge, and retaining walls need proper foundations. These details are priced separately in your quote so you can see what the paving alone costs.

Before you book in Pelsall

Porcelain or natural stone: which should I choose?

Porcelain is the easiest to keep clean, resists stains and moss, and gives a consistent colour. Natural stone has more variation and character, feels softer underfoot and costs a little less, but it's more porous and benefits from sealing. Many people choose porcelain for a contemporary look and sandstone for a traditional garden.

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.

Who approves patios in Pelsall?

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