Porcelain Patio Installation, Borehamwood

A New Patio for a Borehamwood Property

This project involved the installation of a brand new patio for a customer in Borehamwood, covering an area of 50 square metres. The old surface was removed first to allow for a proper sub-base to be laid, giving the new patio a stable and durable foundation that should stand up to years of use.

Light grey porcelain pavers were chosen for the finished surface, a popular choice for homeowners wanting a clean, contemporary look that works well against most brickwork and garden schemes. Porcelain was selected for its durability and low maintenance requirements, both practical considerations for a space that will see regular use throughout the year.

Drainage and Groundwork

Drainage was factored into the design from the outset, something that's often overlooked on smaller domestic patio jobs but makes a real difference to how well the surface performs over time, particularly during wetter months. Getting the falls right at the sub-base stage means water is directed away from the property rather than pooling on the surface.

A textured finish was applied to the pavers, adding a degree of slip resistance underfoot without compromising the overall look of the space. Borders and edging were also fitted around the perimeter, giving the patio a neat, finished edge and helping to keep the pavers firmly in place.

Completion and Timeframe

The full installation, from removal of the old surface through to the final edging, was completed in three days. There were no significant access issues on this job, which allowed the work to progress steadily without delays.

All work was carried out to a high standard and is backed by a 10 year guarantee, giving the customer confidence in the longevity of their new patio. HighPoint Roofing And Building carries public liability insurance as standard on all projects of this kind.
