Patios, paths and paving

Indian sandstone, slate and reclaimed stone laid on a proper base, with the falls set so water leaves the house.

Most failed patios failed underneath. Too thin a sub base, no fall, or slabs spot bedded on five dabs of mortar. Every patio here goes down on a full bed over a compacted base, with the falls run away from the building and the pointing finished to match the stone.

Front paths, side passages and courtyards get the same treatment. So do the awkward ones, the sloping plot that needs the patio held by a wall before a single slab is laid.

Patios, the usual questions

Do you quote for patios for free?

Yes. Free visit, free quote, no obligation either way.

How far do you travel?

Roughly 20 miles from Winscombe, which covers Winscombe, Sandford, Banwell, Churchill, Axbridge and the villages between them, out as far as Clevedon. If you are near the edge of that, ask anyway, it is usually a yes for a job of a decent size.

Is it you doing the work, or a team?

It is Tom Nyamunda. One person on the job from the first visit to the last barrow out, which is slower than a gang but it means the person who quoted it is the person who built it.
