Patio Installation in Nuneaton
A patio that puddles after rain or heaves after a hard frost almost always comes down to what's under the slabs. We excavate to the right depth, compact a proper MOT type 1 sub-base, and lay to a consistent fall away from the house — the same groundwork you can see mid-build in our gallery.

Patio Installation FAQs
How deep does the sub-base need to be?
For a pedestrian patio we typically excavate and compact around 100–150mm of sub-base, more where ground conditions are soft or the patio will see vehicle loads nearby.
Porcelain or natural stone — which is easier to keep clean?
Porcelain is denser and far more stain- and algae-resistant than natural stone, which is porous and needs occasional sealing to stay looking sharp.
Can you fix a patio that's already puddling?
Usually yes — depending on the cause, that can mean re-pointing, re-setting individual slabs to correct the fall, or lifting and relaying the affected area.
