Highly recommended! Alfie and his friend changed our fences and did a fantastic job. They were efficient, quick, hardworking and the price was very reasonable. Really pleased with the result. Thank you again.

Patios in Wimbledon
Porcelain, natural stone and concrete slab patios laid on a proper sub base so they last.
Patios in Wimbledon have a few specific considerations that we always check before quoting. In the Village and on the hill, large gardens with mature trees and conservation area considerations. Lower down, terraces with narrow rear gardens. Listed and conservation work needs sympathetic materials. Most of our work in Wimbledon is around wimbledon common and the streets either side of it. The other big thing in this part of London is drainage: gardens here are wet for at least four months of the year, so the falls on the patio matter, and the choice of jointing compound matters more than the choice of slab.
Wimbledon ranges from the Village at the top of the hill, with grand period houses and conservation areas, down to the more compact terraces nearer the station and beyond. Variety of garden sizes. For most Wimbledon patios we default to a 150mm Type 1 sub base, mortar bed at 50mm, and a 1:80 fall away from the house. That holds up to the wet winters and the loadings of garden furniture and foot traffic. Materials we're asked for most often around here are porcelain, natural stone (Indian sandstone in particular) and concrete slabs at the budget end.

- Lifting and disposal of any existing patio or surface
- Excavation to the correct depth for the chosen material
- Type 1 sub base, compacted in layers
- Slabs bedded individually on a wet mortar mix

What clients say
Alfie and his team did a great job replacing our back fence. It was mess due to neighbours trees and rubbish pushing up against the wood panels. They cleared everything up and ensured nothing putting pressure against the new fence. They worked fast, removed all rubbish, and well priced. The fence looks fantastic. We will be using his services again, highly recommend.
Alfie and his team were great, we used them to install a new fence, gate, and also box in our hot tub, he was flexible, communicative, and professional, everything that was promised was delivered to an excellent standard.
I had 15 fence panels, 11 concrete posts and 15 concrete bases fitted by Alfie and his team, very lovely men the quality of work was amazing all waste taken away after they had finished. Very professional I am very happy with the work.

Patios in Wimbledon FAQs
What's the best patio material for a Wimbledon garden?
Porcelain is the most resilient option for the climate in this part of SW London. Natural stone, usually Indian sandstone, is the next best on value and looks right with most house styles in Wimbledon. Concrete slabs work on tight budgets and have improved a lot in recent years.
How do you handle drainage for patios in Wimbledon?
A 1:80 fall away from the house is the standard. If the existing garden has nowhere obvious for the water to go, we'll specify a linear drain along the patio's lowest edge with a soakaway at the end of the run.
How quickly can you start a patios job in Wimbledon?
Spring and early summer are the busiest months. For larger jobs we usually book six to ten weeks ahead. Smaller patios jobs in Wimbledon can sometimes fit in within a couple of weeks. The best step is a quick call to check current availability.
Do you cover all of Wimbledon?
Yes. Wimbledon (SW19, SW20) and the surrounding streets are all within our regular working area. If you're on the edge of Wimbledon or in a neighbouring area like raynes park, that's still fine.
