Block paved patios in Battersea: the local picture
Battersea has everything from small terrace yards to big gardens on newer estates, so the survey sets the layout, the levels and the dig.
A patio or path needs the same care underneath as a drive: a compacted base, edges set in concrete and falls that take water away from the house.

What you get with our patios service
Block suits patios that join a block drive or path, small or awkward spaces where large slabs would need too many cuts, and gardens where you want a pattern such as basketweave or a circle feature. We lay patios to fall away from the house and below the damp-proof course, with edging that stops the blocks creeping into the lawn.
- Layout marked out with you, including steps and doors
- Optional sealer
- Dig-out and compacted sub-base (around 100 mm for foot traffic)
- Jointing sand and compaction
- Falls away from the house and doors
What we check on a Battersea survey
- Outside taps, lights and cables
- Access for a mini-digger and how waste leaves the garden
- Ground conditions and how deep the dig must be
- Block range, colour, pattern and border to suit the house
- Steps, walls and changes of level
Do you need permission for a block paved patio in Battersea?
A patio or path behind the house does not usually need planning permission. Raised patios, listed buildings and flats can be different, so we check on the survey.
Paving in front of the house follows the front-garden rules: in England, a front drive over 5 m² needs planning permission unless it is permeable or drains to a lawn or border within your boundary.

What happens to my old patio or lawn?
Old slabs, concrete or turf are dug out and taken away, listed as its own line on your quote.
Can the paving be level with the back door?
Paving normally sits at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course. A level step-out needs a drainage channel against the house and careful detailing, which we agree on the survey.
