Patio Installation in Kenton
Every patio installation project in Kenton we quote for starts the same way: an honest site visit, a proper look at drainage and levels, and a written quote you can compare. No surprise costs, no upsells, no scripted sales patter.
How the work is scoped
Patio Installation works in Kenton generally break down into three phases: careful prep, correct sub-base, and a well-detailed surface. Skip any one and the job looks fine for a summer, then starts to move.

Why homeowners pick this option
What matters on the ground here
Kenton is characterised by 1950s semis, dormer bungalows and off-street driveways on wide plots. That means we tailor the spec to the street rather than dropping in an off-the-shelf build. We routinely work across Gosforth and Fawdon too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of patio installation spec that actually holds up here.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Kenton (NE3) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Newcastle and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential patio installations the answer is no, provided the surface is permeable or drains to a soakaway within the property. We'll flag anything unusual before we start.
Do you take a deposit?+
A modest deposit secures the start date and covers materials being ordered. The balance is due on completion, once you've walked the job with us.
Can you match the existing paving?+
Where products are still in production, yes. Where they aren't, we'll show you the closest current options and how the transition will read on the ground.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
