Patios & Paving in KT13
Patio installation in Weybridge, Surrey
Porcelain and Indian sandstone terraces, excavated and built properly from the sub-base up by our own crews.
9.86/10Patios for Weybridge gardens
Large detached houses on generous plots, including the private estates towards St George’s Hill, alongside older village properties and newer apartment developments nearer the centre. Level changes and mature trees shape most schemes here.
At the outer edge of our patch, so the work here tends to be the larger projects where the design stage earns its keep.
The build
How we build it, Weybridge or anywhere else
The build-up is the same wherever we lay it: full excavation, spoil carted away, MOT Type 1 compacted in layers, slabs bedded on a full mortar bed and falls set away from the house. What changes street to street is how the materials get in and where the water goes.
We take levels and check the access on the first visit, because those two things decide the price far more than the slab you pick from the brochure.
- Site survey, levels and a setting-out plan for your plot
- Skip or grab-away arranged, including the council permit where the skip stands on the road
- Break-out and removal of the old patio, concrete or crazy paving
- MOT Type 1 sub-base compacted in layers
- Slabs laid on a full mortar bed with falls away from the house
- Jointing, edging, steps and drainage into a channel or soakaway
- Jet wash and full clear-up, front garden included
The full detail on materials, build-up and what a quote covers is on our patios & paving page.

Working in Weybridge
How we get materials in
Wide drives and side access are normal, so plant and materials can reach the rear and the machinery stages run quickly. Mature trees are the planning point, and root protection is checked before work starts.
Permits and deliveries
Elmbridge Borough Council skip permits are arranged where anything needs to stand on the public highway. Most jobs keep skips and plant on the drive. The private estates have their own access rules and delivery hours, which we clear before the first lorry is booked.

FAQs
Patios questions we get asked
How long does a patio take to build?
A straightforward 30 to 40m2 patio is usually five to eight working days: two days to excavate and cart the spoil away, a day or two for the sub-base, then laying, jointing and clear-up. Add a week if there are steps, a retaining wall or drainage to reroute, and a couple of days if access is by barrow only.
Do I need planning permission for a patio?
For a normal ground level patio in a back garden, no. It becomes a consideration if you raise the level significantly next to a boundary, build a raised terrace that overlooks a neighbour, or you are in a conservation area or a listed property. We will tell you at the site visit if your job is one of the rare ones that needs consent.
What is the difference between porcelain and Indian sandstone?
Porcelain is a fired, near zero porosity slab: colour stable, very low maintenance and calibrated so joints stay tight. Indian sandstone is a natural quarried stone, warmer, more varied, cheaper per square metre, but it will need sealing and an occasional wash. Porcelain suits contemporary schemes; sandstone suits period houses.
Do you remove the old patio?
Yes. Breaking out and carting away the old slabs, concrete and spoil is part of the quote, along with skip or grab-away costs and any permit needed to stand a skip on the road.
How much does a new patio cost?
Most of the patios we build land between £5,000 and £10,000, depending on size, material and how easily we can get machinery and materials in. Smaller courtyards can come in under that, and large terraces with steps, walls and level changes run from £20,000 to £40,000. Every price is fixed in writing after a site visit.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, our workmanship is guaranteed and materials carry their manufacturer's warranty on top. Because our own crews build the job rather than subcontractors, there is one company to come back if anything needs attention.
