Indian sandstone and porcelain patios in Kent
Natural warmth or crisp and modern, both laid on a full bed.
These are the two most popular patio materials, and they're quite different. Indian sandstone is natural and riven, with warm, varied colours. Porcelain is precise, dense and very low-maintenance.
Both need a full mortar bed and careful jointing. Porcelain also needs a slurry primer on the back of every slab so it bonds. We'll explain the difference on site and bring samples.

Options
Indian sandstone
Riven texture and mixed sizes. It suits most gardens and period homes.
Porcelain
Large, crisp slabs that resist stains and moss, with a modern look.
Steps and edging
Matching steps, bullnose edges and borders to finish the job.
Questions people ask
Which is easier to look after?
Porcelain. It barely absorbs water, so moss and stains struggle to take hold. Sandstone benefits from sealing and an occasional clean.
Which is better value?
Sandstone is usually cheaper per square metre to buy. Porcelain takes longer to lay, but it lasts very well. We'll price both if you're undecided.
