Porcelain Paving across London
Porcelain slabs are made from fired clay and are much denser than concrete or natural stone, so they absorb very little water. That makes them resistant to staining and frost, and easy to wash clean.
They need careful installation. Slabs are usually laid on a mortar bed with a primer on the back, over a firm base that will not move. Done well, the result is a flat, clean and modern surface that looks at home in most London gardens.

- Very hard-wearing and resistant to stains, frost and algae

How we lay porcelain paving
We build a firm sub-base and set a mortar bed. Porcelain is laid with a bonding primer on the back of each slab so it bonds properly, with even joints and accurate levels. Cutting is done with the right tools to give clean edges.
Joints are filled with a suitable jointing compound, and we plan falls so water drains off. We clean and check the surface at the end to leave it ready to use.
How it works

Not sure which surface suits your property?
Resin, tarmac, block paving or stone: each has strengths. Tell us about your space and budget and we will recommend the right one and quote for it in writing.
Is porcelain right for my patio?
Porcelain is a premium, low-maintenance choice. Because it is a dense material, it needs a stable base and careful laying. If you prefer a more natural, textured look, see Indian sandstone paving. For driveways, other surfaces are usually a better fit.
What affects the cost?
Porcelain usually costs more than concrete paving and often similar to or more than natural stone. The price depends on the slab, the area, the base and the layout. We give a free written quote after measuring up.

Porcelain Paving FAQs
Does porcelain paving stain?
It is highly stain resistant, though no surface is immune. Cleaning spills promptly keeps it looking its best.

Outdoor porcelain is made with a textured finish to give grip. We help you choose the right slab for the area.
Can porcelain crack?
Porcelain can crack if laid on an unstable base or hit hard. A firm base and full bedding are essential.
