Price preparation, drainage and paving as distinct stages

Patio packages should separate excavation, sub-base, edge restraints, falls and finished paving. A square-metre rate without levels is not a safe price basis. Photographs of thresholds and existing surfaces accelerate triage. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Design falls away from the building

Surface water must be directed away from thresholds and walls. Defective falls can drive damp risk. The written scope should identify known drainage outlets and any separate drainage repairs required before paving is finished. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Choose materials against use and fabric

Natural stone, porcelain and block paving have different jointing, movement and maintenance needs. Vehicle loading for driveways is a different package from pedestrian patio use. Material preference should be stated without inventing a fixed brand package from the postcode. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Plan access, spoil and protection through the house

Spoil removal and material delivery often pass through internal spaces on terraces. Protection, working hours and waste routes belong in the programme. Highway occupation needs the correct licence when public space is used. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Keep patio works distinct from landscaping build

Paving can sit inside a wider landscaping scheme, but planting and soft works should be itemised separately when included. Mixing unpriced soft works into a paving day creates disputes at completion. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Check freeholder and designation questions for visible outdoor works

Visible external paving can engage freeholder rules or, less often, planning questions depending on the property. Confirm the exact address route rather than assuming permission from the area name. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Sequence drying and jointing honestly

Bedding and jointing depend on weather and product instructions. The programme should not promise a fixed day count from this page alone. Handover should leave care notes for cleaning and joint maintenance. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed. Delivery is in-house when accepted — not a marketplace auction.

Compare paving proposals by build-up and exclusions

A comparable proposal lists area, dig depth or overlay assumptions, sub-base, edge restraints, drainage, materials, waste and exclusions such as drainage repairs or steps. Provisional items must be visible. Patio and pathway packages turn on levels, falls, sub-base and intended pedestrian use. Vehicle driveways, steps and soft landscaping should be itemised separately so paving is not sold as a complete garden rebuild. The accepted written scope states inclusions, exclusions and assumptions. Submitting a private brief is not a booking. Capacity is confirmed after property facts are reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start a patio & paving brief?
Use the online form or call 020 7101 3168. Include the postcode, a clear description of the issue or project, photographs where helpful, and access notes. Submission starts a review — it is not a confirmed booking.
Where do you accept patio & paving briefs?
You may submit for Hampstead, North West London and wider premium London postcodes. Dedicated pages currently focus on neighbourhoods such as Hampstead, Hampstead Village, Belsize Park, St John's Wood and West Hampstead, with other postcodes reviewed case by case. Coverage and timing are confirmed after the location and scope have been reviewed — not solely because an area page exists.
Is Patio & Paving delivered by third-party traders?
No. Accepted work is routed to Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance. We confirm the competence and any job-specific registration or insurance for the accepted scope before work starts.
How is patio & paving pricing confirmed?
Pricing depends on access, fabric condition, materials, programme and any approvals needed. Where we can quote, the written document states inclusions, assumptions, exclusions and payment terms. Smaller completed jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; larger works use the deposit and final terms in the accepted quote.
Do I always need a site visit for patio & paving?
Not always. Clear photographs and a written description can be enough for straightforward scopes. Complex fabric, structural openings, concealed services or unclear access usually need a visit before a safe price basis can be written.
What patio & paving themes do people commonly brief?
Common themes include Patio, Natural Stone, Porcelain Paving, Pathway, Garden Paving. Suitability still depends on the individual property, access and the written scope we can accept after review. These tags are a guide, not a fixed menu or price list.
What freeholder or building access notes help for a patio & paving brief?
For flats and mansion blocks, attach any licence-to-alter, working-hours note, riser plan or managing-agent rules you already hold. Lift size, porter rules and communal corridor protection often affect how patio & paving attendance is programmed. Freeholder approval is never invented from a neighbourhood lander alone — those facts come from the property documents and the accepted written scope.
Does a patio & paving brief always need Building Control?
Not always. Whether approval or a competent-person route is needed depends on the defined work and property. Openings, structural alterations, drainage changes and certain electrical or heating works are more likely to need one of those routes. We flag known compliance questions in triage. A service hub does not predict a notification outcome from a neighbourhood page. Attach any existing notice or completion certificate you hold.
Can I submit a patio & paving brief in London?
Yes. Send the postcode and job details for review. Submission is not a booking; we confirm whether the brief fits, current availability and the next step.
How is patio & paving work priced?
The price depends on the accepted scope, access, timing, materials and any assessment required. We confirm a written quote or other agreed price basis before planned work starts.
