Patios in Sedgley

Planning your patio in Sedgley

Steps should have even risers so they're safe to use in the dark.
Natural sandstone in Sedgley gardens can pick up algae in shade, so sealing is worth considering.
Porcelain needs a bonding primer and a full mortar bed to stay fixed.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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 Sedgley

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.

How do I book a survey in Sedgley?

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 do I need to do before the work starts?

Clear the area of pots, furniture and anything you want to keep, and lift any plants you'd like to move. If access is through the house, clear a path from the front door to the back. Let neighbours know about the skip and some noise while we dig and cut.

Will I need permission from the council in Sedgley?

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