An outdoor space you'll want to live in
Every patio we install is laid level on a full mortar bed, hand-pointed, and finished with edge detail that lasts.
Porcelain, sandstone, slate — Indian, Italian, Yorkstone — the choice of stone shapes how a patio feels under your bare feet on a summer evening. We'll bring full-sized samples to your site visit so you can hold them against the brick of your house.
Steps, levels, retaining walls, water features and built-in seating, all handled by the same in-house team. No subcontractors for the tricky bits, no waiting for someone else to "come back next week".
Every patio we lay across Kettering starts with the right preparation. A solid sub-base, properly screeded mortar bed, and clean joint pointing. That's the only foundation our 5-year guarantee will stand behind.
Patios that last beyond fifteen British winters
Stone for every style
Porcelain for crisp modern lines. Indian sandstone for warmth. Yorkstone for character. Slate, granite and travertine all available.

Every slab on a full mortar bed with hand-pointed joints. No "spot-fix" shortcuts that lift after the first frost.
Steps, levels and features

01933 698024A typical domestic patio is dug out, sub-based, laid and pointed within 5–10 working days, depending on size and complexity (steps, retaining walls, etc.).
Porcelain is hardest-wearing and lowest-maintenance. Indian sandstone gives warmth and character at a friendly price. Yorkstone is the premium British option. We'll bring samples to your site visit so you can see them against your house.
Porcelain rarely needs sealing. Natural stone (sandstone, slate, Yorkstone) benefits from a breathable impregnating sealant after laying and again every few years — we'll advise on the right product for your stone.
