New steps completed today using bricks to match the existing buff brickwork, finished with Global Stone Jewel Ashen porcelain paving from MKM for a lovely contrast.

The new patio is still to follow – looking forward to seeing this whole project come together.

We haven't tried it yet but this patio cleaner has scored 100% on Which?

Due to an exceptionally busy workload, ongoing weather delays and now being fully booked for the remainder of 2026, we have made the difficult decision to pause all new quotations until August, to allow us time to get caught up.

If your project is not urgent and you're happy to consider having the work carried out in 2027, please get back in touch from August onwards to arrange a quotation.

A huge thank you to everyone who has booked with us this year, and to all our customers for your continued support, recommendations, reviews and understanding.

4 new porcelain flags from Marshalls Gardens and Driveways available from Jewson

Benefits of porcelain paving:

* Very low maintenance – easy to clean and resistant to stains
* Non-porous surface – absorbs very little water, helping prevent moss and algae growth
* Fade resistant – colour stays consistent over time
* Strong and durable – resistant to scratches and wear
* Frost resistant – suitable for UK weather conditions
* Consistent sizing and finish – gives a cleaner, more modern look
* Slip resistant options available – suitable for patios and paths
* Doesn’t require sealing
* Resistant to weeds due to tighter joints and low porosity
* Available in a wide range of colours and stone-effect finishes

Don’t be put off by having work carried out over the winter months. We actually seem to tend to lose more time during the summer due to rain than in winter.

The only time paving work wouldn’t go ahead is during freezing temperatures, as we would never compromise on the quality of the installation.

Apart from a snowy week at the beginning of January and rain at the start of this year, the last few winters have generally been fairly good weather wise, excluding the Big Freeze in December 2010 and the Beast from the East in March 2018 of course!
