Beautiful today, beautiful in 20 years.
Never seal, never treat, never worry.
Porcelain won't stain from spills, won't fade from sunlight, and needs only occasional sweeping.
Colors are fired permanently into the material at over 1,200°C – they'll never fade.

Modern porcelain perfectly replicates slate, limestone, marble, and even wood grain.
You get the high-end aesthetic you want without the maintenance commitment, making it ideal for busy families who want their outdoor space to look stunning year-round.

OUR PROVEN PROCESS
How We Install Your Porcelain Patio – Step by Step
Step 1: Free Site Survey
& Design Consultation
We visit your property to assess your outdoor space, discuss your design preferences, and show you porcelain samples.
We'll measure the area, check levels and drainage, discuss access for materials, and understand how you'll use your patio.
You'll see real porcelain samples to choose your preferred style and color.

Within 2-3 days, you'll receive a comprehensive quote breaking down materials, installation, base preparation, and any additional work like edging or steps.
We specify the exact porcelain product, dimensions, and finish so there are no surprises.

Our team begins with thorough ground preparation – excavation, sub-base compaction, and proper drainage installation.
We then lay a mortar bed or use pedestal systems (for larger format tiles), setting each porcelain slab with precision.
William works on-site with the team, ensuring consistent spacing, perfect levels, and attention to water runoff for a flawless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porcelain Patio Questions Answered...
For more information about our patio services, or if you need support, please call Will on 07306 631777
Is porcelain paving slippery when wet?
Modern porcelain designed for outdoor use features textured or riven finishes that provide excellent grip, even when wet. We only install porcelain rated for external use with appropriate slip resistance (R11 rating). Avoid polished finishes for uncovered patios – we'll advise you on the safest options during consultation.
Will the color fade over time?
No. Porcelain colors are fired into the material at over 1,200°C, making them permanent. Unlike concrete paving or some natural stones, porcelain won't fade from UV exposure. Your patio will look the same in 20 years as it does on installation day.
Does porcelain crack in cold weather?
Quality porcelain is virtually frost-proof due to its extremely low water absorption rate (typically <0.5%). We only use premium outdoor-rated porcelain, and when installed correctly with proper base preparation, it handles Kent's freeze-thaw cycles without issue.
How do I maintain a porcelain patio?
Maintenance is minimal – occasional sweeping to remove debris and periodic washing with water or mild detergent. No sealing required, ever. Porcelain doesn't stain from spills, so you can simply rinse away wine, oil, or other substances without worry.
Can porcelain paving look like natural stone?
Absolutely. Modern manufacturing creates porcelain that's virtually indistinguishable from natural limestone, slate, sandstone, or marble. You get the natural aesthetic with better durability and zero maintenance. We'll show you samples during your consultation.
How long does a porcelain patio last?
With professional installation, porcelain patios last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. The material is incredibly durable and won't degrade, fade, or break down over time. It's a true lifetime investment.
Is porcelain paving more expensive than natural stone?
Initial costs are similar or slightly higher, but porcelain offers better long-term value. You save on sealing (not needed), replacement of damaged slabs (rare with porcelain), and cleaning products. Over 20 years, porcelain typically costs less than natural stone.
Can you install porcelain over my existing patio?
Sometimes. If your existing patio is stable, level, and properly drained, we can overlay certain porcelain products. However, we often recommend full excavation and fresh base installation to ensure proper levels, drainage, and longevity. We'll assess during your site survey.
When can you get started?
We are generally booked out for around 4-6 weeks. This gives us enough time to design the perfect garden and organise delivery of materials etc.
