Porcelain patios, level and fixed for good
Porcelain is hard-wearing, easy to clean and does not stain, but it does not absorb water like stone, so it has to be laid with a primer and a full mortar bed. We lay it the way the manufacturers specify.

We excavate, lay and compact a Type 1 base, then lay each 20 mm porcelain slab on a full bed of mortar with a bonding slurry brushed onto the back. The patio is set with a slight fall away from the house so rain runs off, and kept at least 150 mm below the damp-proof course.
We cut with diamond blades for clean edges, and point with a brush-in or a cement-based jointing compound to suit the slab and the look you want.
What's included
So porcelain bonds properly to the mortar bed.
Rain runs off the patio and away from your walls.
Diamond-cut edges around steps, drains and borders.

Is porcelain slippery when wet?
Outdoor porcelain has a textured finish rated for outdoor use. We only lay slabs with a suitable slip rating, and we can show you samples wet and dry at the survey.
Why does porcelain cost more to lay than stone?
It is harder to cut and needs a primer on every slab, which takes more time. In return it needs less cleaning and will not stain.
