Why homeowners pick this option
What matters on the ground here
Fenham is characterised by long residential terraces and semi-detached family homes with modest driveways. That means access is often tight and skip placement needs to be agreed with neighbours. We routinely work across Benwell and West Denton too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of porcelain patio spec that actually holds up here.

Common questions from homeowners
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.
How long does the work take?+
Most residential porcelain paving patios take between two and five working days once site prep starts. Timings depend on size, weather and how much excavation the existing surface needs.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential porcelain paving patios 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.
Do you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Fenham (NE4) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across Newcastle and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
