Before your patio in Wolverhampton

Steps should have even risers so they're safe to use in the dark.
Porcelain needs a bonding primer and a full mortar bed to stay fixed.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

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.

Who approves patios in Wolverhampton?

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