What it is A slabbed patio is a paved outdoor floor made from large-format concrete, natural sandstone, limestone or granite slabs, laid on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base and pointed with a purpose-made brush-in compound. Who it's for It's the right pick for homeowners across the West Midlands who want a warm, traditional or contemporary patio — Indian sandstone, riven flags, sawn limestone or large modern porcelain — as a garden entertaining space or a smart pathway. When you need it Choose a new slabbed patio when replacing a tired, rocking, mossy existing patio, extending seating and dining space off bifolds, or laying a garden pathway that ties the house into the garden. Why professional matters Slabbing looks simple. It isn't. Rocking slabs, hollow bedding, muddy joints and slabs laid on 5 mortar dots instead of a full bed — it's the most-common patio failure we get called back to fix. Every one of ours is laid full-bed with pointing that lasts. What happens when it's done wrong ## The Failures WeGet Called To Fix. Cutting corners on slabbing shows up fast. Here's what to avoid — and what we build into every install instead. ### Rocking, hollow slabs Spot-dabbed slabs sit on 5 lumps of mortar with air underneath — they crack, rock and let water in. ### Cracked joints, mossy patios Wrong pointing mix or brushed-in dry sand and joints crack out within 12 months, mossing up straight after. ### Uneven falls, standing water No proper fall set at sub-base stage and water pools against the house — the fastest way to a damp problem. ### Efflorescence on sandstone Wrong bedding mix leaches lime through natural sandstone, leaving permanent white salts on the surface. Our process ## How We InstallYour Slabbing. 01 ### Free site visit & quote We visit, measure, discuss slab range and pattern, and quote within 24 hours in writing. 02 ### Excavation & sub-base Excavate to depth, lay MOT type-1 sub-base with drainage falls of at least 1:80 away from the house. 03 ### Full mortar bed Sharp-sand-and-cement mortar bed laid full — every slab back-buttered with slurry primer for a proper bond. 04 ### Laying & levelling Slabs bedded, tapped down with a rubber mallet, level checked in both axes on every slab, joints set with spacers. 05 ### Pointing & handover Purpose-made brush-in jointing compound worked into every joint, patio washed clean, and your 10-year workmanship guarantee. Benefits ## Why It's WorthDoing It Right. ### Full-bed method only No spot-dabs, no hollow bedding, no rocking slabs — ever. ### Correct drainage falls Falls set at sub-base stage, water sheds away from the house not towards it. ### Proper brush-in pointing Polymer-modified jointing compound that stays put — no yearly re-pointing. ### Choice of slab Indian sandstone, sawn limestone, riven concrete, contemporary porcelain — same care on every range. ### Clean cuts around detail Wet-sawn cuts around drains, walls and steps — no chipped, cracked edges. ### 10-year workmanship guarantee Every install, in writing. Deep detail ## Everything We Install& How We Install It. ### Materials we use Indian sandstone (Kandla grey, mint fossil, autumn brown, raj green), sawn limestone, riven concrete slabs (Bradstone / Marshalls), granite setts and premium ranges. Full mortar bed of sharp sand and cement. Slurry primer on the back of every slab. Polymer-modified brush-in jointing compound. ### Our methods Excavation typically 150mm for a foot-traffic patio, more if it's going to take vehicles. Sub-base compacted to a firm level with drainage falls set. Full mortar bed screeded, slab back-buttered with slurry, laid, tapped down and levelled. Joints kept clear of mortar as slabs go down. Brush-in jointing worked into every joint at the end. ### Where it applies Slabbing is the right call where a traditional or mid-range contemporary look is wanted at a lower price than porcelain. For a fully flat, colour-fast surface with near-zero maintenance, see the porcelain page. For a seamless jointless surface, see resin bound. ### Residential vs commercial Predominantly residential across the West Midlands. Also small commercial patios for pubs, cafes and lettings-agent portfolios. ### Variations of this service Indian sandstone patiosThe most-installed patio slab in the UK — natural riven finish, warm colour tones, cost-effective.
