What matters on the ground here
Tynemouth is characterised by historic seaside village with premium coastal homes and driveways exposed to salt air. That means materials need to cope with salt-laden air. We routinely work across North Shields and Whitley Bay too, so we know the streets, the access constraints and the type of sandstone 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 Indian sandstone 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 you cover my postcode?+
Yes — Tynemouth (NE30) is inside our regular coverage area. We work right across North Tyneside and the wider North East, so travel isn't a problem.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and are happy to share a copy of the certificate with your quote.
Do I need planning permission?+
For most private residential Indian sandstone 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.
