Spot-bedded slabs on dabs of mortar are more likely to rock and crack.
Setting a gentle fall away from the house stops water pooling against the wall.
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.

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.

Your questions answered

Can a new patio go on top of my old one?

Rarely. Laying over an old patio raises the level, which can bring it too close to the damp-proof course, and any movement in the old slabs will carry through. We usually lift the old paving and check the base underneath. If it's sound and the levels allow, we'll say so at survey.

Which postcodes in Tettenhall do you work in?

We cover WV6 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Tettenhall, neighbouring Perton and Codsall are covered too.

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. A 20 m² sandstone patio therefore typically costs about £2,400–£3,500. Steps, walls and drainage are priced as extra lines.

Who approves patios in Tettenhall?

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