What we mean by patios
The bit beneath the surface.
A patio is the most-used room in most British gardens - and the one most likely to look tired by the third winter. The work that decides how it ages is mostly invisible: the sub-base, the falls, the bedding mortar, the pointing mix.
Full mortar beds, every time
Slabs bedded fully on a wet mortar mix - no dot-and-dab, no rocking, no failed joints two winters in. The slowest part of the job and the bit that decides everything.
Falls and drainage thought through
Levels set away from the house at 1:80, soakaways where the ground needs them, joints pointed in colour-matched mortar that doesn't crack out.
Materials chosen to suit the house
Indian sandstone, honed porcelain, clay paver - picked with the property in mind. Samples brought to you, not selected from a brochure.
Why this works in Wokingham
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Wokingham patios mostly fall into two patterns. Older town-side homes want a sympathetic stone terrace that reads with the property. Newer Woosehill, Norreys and Finchampstead plots want the developer paving lifted entirely and a properly proportioned terrace built in its place.
Newer Wokingham estates often have narrow side returns and shared boundaries. We plan access and material delivery carefully so neighbours stay onside and the project runs cleanly.
- Narrow side returns - Mini diggers where they fit, barrowed materials where they don't. Routes protected with boards through the build.
- Shared driveways - Deliveries timed and routed to keep neighbours onside. We brief everyone before the dig.
- Estate sub-base condition - Developer-spec ground is rebuilt to proper depth rather than re-skinned - the difference shows in three winters.

Woosehill · RG41
Porcelain terrace on a properly rebuilt sub-base.
A Woosehill family wanted the back-of-house actually working. The developer paving came up, the sub-base was rebuilt to depth, and a wider porcelain terrace went down with corrected falls. Easy to clean, no green film by year three.

Common questions
What Wokingham clients usually ask about patios.
Our garden in Finchampstead is shaded - what works there?+
Honed porcelain stays cleaner in shade than riven stone. We talk through aspect and maintenance on the first visit so the finish suits the conditions.
Do you handle the drainage and soakaways too?+
Yes. We design falls, install perforated land drains where needed and size soakaways properly. Drainage is part of the patio quote, not a separate trade we leave to someone else.
Can you remove the old patio and dispose of the spoil?+
Yes - lift, break out and skip removal are all included in the price. We work tidily, sweep daily and protect routes through the house.
Sandstone or porcelain - which is right for our garden?+
Sandstone is warmer underfoot, weathers softly and suits older or family-feeling gardens. Porcelain is harder, stays cleaner under shade and reads more contemporary. We bring samples to you and look at both against the house before deciding.
