Patios in Wyken

Before your patio in Wyken

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

Raised patios over 0.3 m above the ground need planning permission.
Steps should have even risers so they're safe to use in the dark.
Air bricks must never be covered, because they ventilate the floor void.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

What does your patio cost in Wyken?

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

Questions about patios in Wyken

How long does it take to lay a patio?

A 15–25 m² patio usually takes three to six days, including dig-out, sub-base, laying and jointing. Steps, walls or awkward access add time. Mortar needs a few days to harden before heavy furniture or barbecues go on it, and we'll give you a clear date.

Do you cover Wyken?

Yes. Wyken (CV2) is about 23 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Who approves patios in Wyken?

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