Get Free Patio Installation, Paving and Repair Quotes
MyPatioPrices.co.uk helps homeowners compare free quotes for patio installation, paving repairs, patio replacement and other garden paving work. Instead of contacting several companies individually, you can submit one short online enquiry and we will try to match you with suitable local patio layers, slab pavers, landscapers and garden paving specialists.
You can request quotes for anything from a completely new patio to small repairs on an existing paved area. This includes porcelain paving, Indian sandstone, natural stone, concrete paving slabs, patio repointing, drainage improvements, relaying loose slabs, replacing damaged paving and many other common patio jobs.
Depending on availability in your area, your enquiry may be matched with up to four independent contractors. Each company can contact you directly, discuss the work and provide its own quotation.
The service is free for homeowners, and there is no obligation to accept any quote you receive. You can compare prices, materials, proposed preparation work and timescales before deciding whether you want to proceed.
How to Request Free Patio Quotes
You do not need to know the exact technical specification before getting started. Simply tell us what you would like done and provide as much useful information as you can about the garden or existing patio.
- Complete the online enquiry form — describe the patio, paving or garden landscaping work you are considering and provide the property location and your contact details.
- We look for suitable local contractors — your enquiry may be matched with up to four independent patio and paving specialists who cover your area.
- Contractors contact you directly — they may ask a few more questions, request photographs or arrange a convenient time to visit the property.
- Receive and compare quotations — compare prices, materials, groundwork, drainage, timescales and what is included before choosing whether to proceed.
For many patio projects, a site visit will be needed before a contractor can provide a firm price. Ground conditions, garden access, existing paving and drainage can all affect the amount of work required.
Patio and Garden Paving Quotes You Can Request
Homeowners search for patio contractors using many different terms, so our service covers a wide range of paving jobs rather than only complete patio installations. If the work involves paving, slabs, patio repairs or improving an existing paved garden area, you can submit an enquiry and describe exactly what you need.
Patio Installation Quotes
Request quotes for a completely new garden patio, including excavation, sub-base preparation, laying the paving and completing the joints. New patio installation can include small seating areas, large entertaining spaces and paved areas immediately outside patio or bi-fold doors.
Patio Installation Prices
If you are trying to find out how much a new patio costs, comparing local quotations can give you a more realistic figure for your actual property. Patio prices depend on the size of the area, paving material, access, ground conditions, drainage and the amount of preparation needed.
Patio Laying Quotes
You can request quotes from local patio layers for laying new paving slabs on a properly prepared base. This may be part of a complete installation or a project where some preparation has already been completed.
Garden Paving Quotes
Garden paving does not have to be limited to one main patio. Contractors can also quote for paved seating areas, paths, barbecue areas, outdoor dining spaces and paved sections linking different parts of the garden.
Porcelain Patio Installation
Porcelain paving is a popular choice for modern patios because it offers a consistent finish, low water absorption and good resistance to staining and weathering. You can compare quotes for porcelain patio installation in a range of slab sizes, colours and finishes.
Porcelain Paving Quotes
If you already know that you want porcelain slabs, you can request quotes specifically from contractors who install porcelain paving. Correct preparation and suitable laying materials are particularly important with porcelain.
Indian Sandstone Patio Installation
Indian sandstone is widely used for traditional and natural-looking patios. Contractors can quote for new sandstone patios, replacement paving and extensions to existing sandstone areas.
Indian Sandstone Paving Quotes
You can also request quotes for laying Indian sandstone slabs in different colours, finishes and paving patterns. A contractor can advise on suitable jointing, preparation and whether sealing may be worthwhile.
Natural Stone Patio Installation
Natural stone patios can include sandstone, limestone, slate and other stone paving products. Costs vary according to the material, slab size and laying method, so comparing several quotations can be useful.
Limestone Patio Installation
Limestone paving is another option for homeowners looking for a natural stone finish. Quotes can cover new limestone patio installation, replacement slabs and extensions to existing paving.
Slate Patio Installation
Slate paving can provide a darker and more distinctive finish for garden patios. Contractors can quote for preparation, installation, cutting, jointing and any edging or drainage required.
Concrete Paving Slab Installation
Concrete paving slabs remain a practical and widely available option for garden patios. They come in many sizes, colours and finishes and can suit both smaller projects and larger paved areas.
Patio Slab Laying
If you need paving slabs laid in a garden, you can request quotations for slab laying, base preparation, cutting, levelling and jointing.
Patio Replacement Quotes
Older patios sometimes reach the point where repeated repairs no longer make sense. Contractors can quote for removing an existing patio, disposing of old materials, preparing a new base and installing replacement paving.
Old Patio Removal and Replacement
You can request quotes for lifting and removing old slabs before a new patio is installed. This is particularly useful where the existing paving has sunk, cracked badly or has been laid on an unsuitable base.
Patio Renovation
A patio renovation may involve a mixture of repairs rather than full replacement. This can include lifting uneven slabs, replacing broken paving, repointing the joints and correcting local drainage problems.
Patio Refurbishment
Homeowners can also request quotes for refreshing an older patio where the main paving is still usable but several areas need attention.
Patio Repointing
Patio repointing involves removing failed jointing material and replacing it with suitable mortar or a paving jointing compound. It can improve appearance, reduce weed growth and help stabilise slabs.
Patio Jointing Repairs
If only some joints are cracked or missing, you may be able to request localised patio joint repairs rather than having the whole area repointed.
Patio Mortar Repairs
Loose or crumbling mortar between paving slabs can be removed and replaced. Contractors can inspect the joints and advise whether patch repairs or complete repointing would be more practical.
Patio Repairs
Quotes can be requested for general patio repairs, including cracked slabs, loose paving, sinking areas, failed joints and sections damaged by ground movement or water.
Loose Patio Slab Repairs
Slabs that rock or move underfoot may need lifting and relaying on a suitable bed. Repairing loose slabs can improve safety and help stop surrounding joints from breaking down.
Sunken Patio Repairs
Sunken paving often indicates movement or failure in the base underneath. Contractors can quote for lifting the affected slabs, repairing the base and relaying the paving to the correct level.
Uneven Patio Repairs
If sections of a patio have become uneven, local repairs may be possible. This can help remove trip hazards and improve drainage across the paved area.
Cracked Patio Slab Replacement
Individual cracked or broken slabs can often be replaced without rebuilding the entire patio. A paving specialist can advise whether a close match is available for the existing material.
Broken Paving Slab Replacement
You can request quotes for replacing one or several damaged slabs, including lifting the old paving and preparing a suitable bed for the replacements.
Missing Patio Slab Replacement
If slabs have previously been removed or damaged beyond repair, contractors can quote for supplying and fitting replacements where suitable matching products are available.
Patio Relaying
Where slabs are still in good condition but the base has failed, it may be possible to lift and relay the existing paving rather than purchase an entirely new patio.
Lift and Relay Patio Slabs
This type of repair normally involves removing the existing slabs carefully, correcting the base or levels underneath and laying the slabs again.
Patio Levelling
Contractors can quote for levelling sections of paving that have moved or sunk. This can improve appearance, remove trip hazards and help rainwater drain correctly.
Patio Drainage Installation
Poor drainage can leave standing water on paving or direct rainwater towards the house. Contractors can quote for drainage improvements alongside new or existing patios.
Patio Channel Drain Installation
Linear or channel drains can be installed where water needs to be collected along the edge of a patio, doorway or wall.
ACO Drain Installation for Patios
Homeowners commonly search for ACO drain installation when they need a channel drainage system around paving. Contractors can assess the patio levels and advise on a suitable drainage arrangement.
Patio Drainage Repairs
Existing drains can become damaged, blocked or poorly positioned. Quotes can be requested for repairing or altering drainage serving a patio or paved garden area.
Fixing Water Pooling on a Patio
If puddles remain after rainfall, a contractor can investigate whether the problem is caused by incorrect falls, local sinking or inadequate drainage.
Correcting Patio Falls
A patio should normally be laid with suitable falls so water moves away from buildings and towards a safe drainage point. Contractors can quote for relaying problem sections where levels are incorrect.
Patio Edging Installation
Edging can help create a neat transition between paving, lawns, planting areas and gravel. Quotes can include kerbs, edging blocks, stone borders or other suitable products.
Patio Border Installation
Decorative paving borders can be included in a new patio or added as part of a refurbishment to create a more finished appearance.
Patio Steps Installation
Where garden levels change, paving contractors can quote for patio steps linking the house, patio and lawn or connecting different paved areas.
Patio Step Repairs
Loose slabs, cracked edges and failing joints on patio steps can create trip hazards. Contractors can quote for local repairs or rebuilding damaged steps.
Raised Patio Installation
Raised patios may be used where garden levels, retaining structures or the layout of the property make a higher paved area more suitable.
Patio Extension Quotes
If an existing patio is too small, contractors can quote for extending the paved area using matching or complementary materials.
Small Patio Installation
You can request quotes for compact patios, including small seating areas, courtyards and paved spaces in smaller gardens.
Large Patio Installation
For larger gardens, quotations can cover extensive paved areas designed for outdoor dining, seating, entertaining or connecting different garden features.
Courtyard Paving
Small enclosed courtyards can also be paved using porcelain, natural stone or concrete slabs. Access and drainage can be particularly important on these projects.
Garden Seating Area Paving
Homeowners can request quotes for smaller paved seating areas away from the house, including areas for benches, outdoor furniture or fire pits.
Outdoor Dining Area Paving
Contractors can install paved areas designed around outdoor dining tables, garden furniture and entertaining spaces.
Garden Path Paving
You can also request quotes for paved paths connecting patios, lawns, sheds, gates and other parts of the garden.
Paving Around Conservatories and Extensions
New building work can leave surrounding garden areas unfinished or at different levels. Contractors can quote for new paving around conservatories, rear extensions and garden rooms.
Paving Around Garden Rooms
A paved area around a garden room can provide a practical entrance, seating space and cleaner transition into the surrounding garden.
Patio Sealing
Some paving materials can be sealed to reduce staining or enhance their appearance. Whether sealing is suitable depends on the type of paving and its condition.
Indian Sandstone Sealing
Homeowners with sandstone patios may request quotes for cleaning and sealing as part of renovation or maintenance work.
Natural Stone Patio Sealing
Different natural stones require different products, so it is important that any sealer used is suitable for the specific paving material.
Patio Cleaning and Restoration
Where contractors offer the service, you can describe patio cleaning or restoration work in your enquiry. This may be combined with repointing, repairs or sealing.
Patio Regrouting
Some homeowners use the term regrouting when referring to replacing the joints between paving slabs. Patio specialists will normally describe this as repointing or jointing.
Patio Weed Joint Repairs
Persistent weeds between slabs are often linked to failed or missing jointing. Repointing may help improve the appearance and reduce gaps where weeds can establish.
Patio Moss and Algae Problems
Persistent moss or algae can sometimes indicate shaded, damp areas or poor drainage. Contractors can advise whether repairs or drainage changes could help address the underlying problem.
Patio Repair After Tree Root Damage
Roots can sometimes lift paving and make slabs uneven. A contractor can inspect the affected section and explain whether local repair is possible once the underlying cause has been addressed.
Patio Repair After Subsidence or Ground Movement
Where paving has moved significantly, the affected area may need lifting and rebuilding. Contractors can assess whether the problem is limited to the patio base or requires further investigation.
Patio Repair After Building Work
Extensions, drainage work and other building projects can damage or disturb existing paving. Quotes can be requested for reinstating the patio once the main building work is complete.
Replacement Paving After Drainage or Utility Work
If slabs have been lifted for drains, pipes or cables, a paving contractor can quote for relaying or replacing the affected area.
Quotes for Different Patio Materials
You do not need to have chosen your paving material before requesting quotes. However, if you already have a preferred product, include it in the enquiry so suitable contractors understand what you are looking for.
- Porcelain paving slabs
- Indian sandstone paving
- Natural sandstone
- Limestone paving
- Slate paving
- Concrete paving slabs
- Textured concrete paving
- Riven paving slabs
- Smooth paving slabs
- Large-format paving slabs
- Mixed-size patio packs
- Decorative garden paving
A contractor can explain the advantages, maintenance requirements and likely installation costs of different materials if you are still deciding what would suit your property.
Can I Get a Quote for Patio Labour Only?
Some homeowners already have paving slabs or have found a particular product they want to use. If this applies to you, include this in your enquiry and explain that you are looking for a labour-only patio laying quote.
Whether a contractor is willing to install customer-supplied materials will depend on the business and the paving product involved. They may also want to check that enough slabs have been ordered and that the material is suitable for the proposed installation.
Can I Get a Quote to Supply and Lay Patio Slabs?
Yes. Most complete patio quotations can include both materials and labour. A supply-and-lay quote may include the slabs, sub-base materials, laying products, jointing materials and labour needed to complete the work.
Ask contractors to make it clear whether VAT, delivery charges, waste removal and any drainage work are included in the quoted price.
What Information Should You Include in a Patio Quote Request?
The more information you provide, the easier it is for a contractor to understand the project before contacting you. Useful details can include:
- The type of patio work required
- The approximate size of the paved area
- Whether there is an existing patio
- Whether old slabs need removing
- The paving material you would like, if known
- Whether you want materials supplied by the contractor
- Any cracked, loose or sunken slabs
- Any drainage or standing-water problems
- Whether steps or different garden levels are involved
- Whether garden access is through the house or a side passage
- Whether waste will need to be removed
- How soon you would like the work carried out
If possible, photographs can also be useful. For repair work, try to show both the damaged area and a wider view of the patio. Contractors may still need to visit before providing a final quotation.
What Affects Patio Installation Prices?
The cost of a patio can vary considerably from one property to another. The paving slabs themselves are only one part of the overall price.
Factors that can affect a patio quotation include:
- The total number of square metres being paved
- The type and price of paving slabs
- The amount of excavation required
- The depth and type of sub-base
- Existing concrete or paving that needs removing
- Access to the rear garden
- Ground conditions
- Drainage requirements
- Steps and changes in level
- Edging and decorative borders
- The amount of cutting needed
- The laying pattern
- Waste disposal
- Location and local labour costs
For this reason, an advertised patio price per square metre does not always represent the final cost of a complete installation. Comparing detailed quotations based on your actual garden is normally more useful.
Do I Need Patio Repair or Full Replacement?
A few damaged slabs or failing joints do not necessarily mean you need a new patio. Localised repairs can often deal with individual problems at a lower cost.
Repair may be worth considering where most of the paving remains level and the base underneath is generally sound. A contractor may be able to replace individual slabs, relay a sunken section or repoint failed joints.
Replacement can become more practical where large parts of the patio are moving, the base has failed, drainage is poor or the paving has deteriorated beyond economical repair.
If you are unsure, describe the symptoms in your enquiry. A paving specialist can inspect the patio and discuss repair and replacement options with you.
Common Patio Problems You Can Request Quotes For
- Patio slabs moving underfoot
- Rocking or wobbling slabs
- Cracked paving slabs
- Broken paving slabs
- Sunken sections of patio
- Uneven paving
- Trip hazards between slabs
- Missing mortar joints
- Crumbling pointing
- Weeds growing through patio joints
- Puddles after rainfall
- Water draining towards the house
- Damage around drain covers
- Loose patio edging
- Damaged patio steps
- Old paving that needs replacing
- Paving disturbed by building work
- Paving lifted by tree roots
How to Compare Patio Quotes
Two contractors can quote very different prices for what initially appears to be the same patio. Before deciding which quotation offers better value, check exactly what each contractor has included.
Useful points to compare include:
- The total quoted price
- The exact paving product and specification
- The area or number of square metres included
- Excavation depth
- Sub-base preparation
- Laying method
- Jointing material
- Drainage work
- Steps and edging
- Removal of the existing patio
- Waste disposal
- Material delivery
- Estimated start date
- Expected duration of the job
- Payment schedule
- Any workmanship guarantee
A lower quotation is not necessarily better value if it leaves out groundwork, waste removal or drainage that another contractor has included.
Checking a Patio Contractor Before Work Starts
The patio layers and paving specialists introduced through MyPatioPrices.co.uk are independent businesses. Contractors within our network are asked for insurance and reference details, although homeowners should still make their own checks before agreeing to any work.
Ask the contractor for their full business name and contact details and confirm that suitable public liability insurance is current. It is also sensible to ask for recent references or photographs of similar patio projects.
For larger jobs, request a written quotation that clearly describes the materials, preparation, drainage, waste removal and other work included.
You should also agree payment arrangements before work begins. Some contractors may request a deposit towards materials, but avoid paying the entire cost of a large patio project in advance.
