Porcelain Patios in Kenton
WM Driveways is a Newcastle-based team covering Kenton and the surrounding Newcastle City Council area. We specialise in porcelain paving patios and treat every job — from a small NE3 frontage to a full-property overhaul — with the same attention to detail.
How the work is scoped
Porcelain Patios 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.

What this surface does well
Working in your area
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 porcelain patio spec that actually holds up here.

Common questions from homeowners
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.
What happens if it rains?+
Some phases (excavation, sub-base) run fine in rain. Surfaces like tarmac and resin need dry, in-tolerance conditions, so we'll reschedule those days rather than compromise the finish.
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.
What about drainage and SUDS?+
Where required we build in a soakaway or connect to an existing surface water drain — never into foul drainage.
Do you offer a guarantee?+
We stand behind our workmanship and manufacturer product warranties apply on the surfaces themselves — we'll set the specifics out clearly in your quote.
