Patio Laying (20m2) — your questions answered
- How long does a 20 square metre patio take?
- Typically four to six working days including excavation, base preparation, laying and pointing.
- Is porcelain better than natural stone?
- Porcelain is denser, less porous and stays cleaner, so it is easier to maintain. Natural stone is warmer in appearance and more forgiving of small level differences.
- Do I need planning permission for a patio?
- Not usually for a domestic patio, but drainage matters — new hard surfaces should drain to a permeable area rather than straight into the sewer.
- Does the price include the slabs?
- Each listing states this. Many companies fix the labour and base and let you choose the paving, since slab prices vary widely.
