Porcelain performs consistently wherever it’s laid, but the garden it’s going into rarely does. A period property in an established borough often means a smaller, more enclosed space, while a newer build further out might have more room to work with but less natural shelter. We install porcelain patios right across London, adapting the layout and preparation to suit whatever garden we’re actually working with, while keeping the same standard of groundwork and finish throughout.









Porcelain’s real strength is its consistency, every slab performs the same way regardless of where it’s laid. What changes is the layout it’s set into: a compact, shaded garden calls for a different pattern and sizing than a larger, more open space, and drainage planning needs to account for whatever the soil underneath is actually doing. We treat the material as fixed and the design as the variable, planning each layout around the specific garden rather than repeating a standard grid.
Slab sizing and pattern chosen to suit the actual proportions of your garden, not a default layout

I cannot recommend Paul and his team enough! Paul was very helpful at organizing and laying a new patio for me. Throughout the whole process he and his team were reliable, honest, easy to communicate with, very tidy and clean, as well as being extremely efficient. I am thrilled with the work they carried out.

We can’t recommend London Driveways & Patios enough. They were prompt to reply to all enquiries, Paul was thorough going through the details of what we were looking for and the work was done earlier than expected (which suited us!) and to an excellent standard. We felt the cost was very reasonable and were delighted with the results. Thanks again!Posted on Google![]()

I recently had my driveway and patio repaved and couldn’t be happier with the results. Paul, Ardin and the team did an excellent job from start to finish. They were professional, polite, and incredibly hardworking throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how respectful and non-demanding they were while working on the property. They kept everything tidy, communicated clearly, and made sure the job was completed to a high standard. The finished driveway looks fantastic, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and skilled driveway workPosted on Google![]()

We would highly recommend London Driveways and Patios. They are a professional, helpful and friendly team with a ‘can do’ attitude when any complications arise. We had a new porcelain patio installed, new path along the side of the house and a second fairly large patio area with steps replaced at the back of the garden. They started on time, the work was completed on schedule, and we are very happy with the results. We could not complete the whole job due to some complications replacing a shed, they’ve been flexible in accommodating that, agreeing to return to complete the job later in the year.Posted on Google![]()

My driveway has just been completed and looks terrific. The work is neat and precise and they solved an awkward level issue with the public footpath. The guys were efficient and courteous and even finished a little ahead of schedule. I would heartily recommend.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Not a standard grid, a pattern planned around the space you have.
The same material and standard, whether your garden's compact or large.
No sealing, strong resistance to staining and scratching.
Ask us about current guarantee cover for your specific patio project.
A shaded, enclosed garden behind a period terrace needs a different approach to drainage and slab sizing than a larger, more exposed plot further out, even though the material itself doesn't change. Heavy clay soil across much of the city also means the sub-base has to be planned properly regardless of the garden's size, since drainage problems show up just as easily under a small patio as a large one. Treating every layout as its own project, rather than repeating a fixed design, is what actually determines whether a porcelain patio performs well long term.
From Totteridge and Golders Green to Muswell Hill and Hampstead Garden Suburb, we install porcelain patios throughout London, alongside our home base in Barnet and the surrounding boroughs.
Yes, the material performs the same regardless of size, what changes is the layout and pattern, which we plan around your garden’s actual proportions rather than a standard template.
Yes, porcelain’s colour and finish stay consistent even without much direct sun, unlike some natural materials that can look duller in shaded spots.
We install porcelain patios across the whole of Greater London. Get in touch with your postcode and we’ll confirm coverage.
The principle’s the same, water needs to move away from the property, but the falls and sub-base are planned around your specific garden and soil conditions rather than a fixed formula.
Yes, slab size and layout can be adjusted to suit your specific space, we’ll talk through the options that work best for your garden during the design conversation.
