Patio Fitters in High Wycombe

We lay new patios and paths in High Wycombe, from Amersham Hill and Terriers to Totteridge, Downley, Booker and Sands.

The town sits in a steep chalk valley, so many gardens climb away from the house. That makes steps and levels part of most jobs here. As steps installers we build them with an even rise that is safe to use, and our pathway installations link each level of the garden.

High quality patios start underneath, with a proper sub-base and falls that carry rainwater away from the house. Our stonemasons choose and lay each slab by hand.

High Wycombe’s conservation areas include Amersham Hill, Priory Avenue, Terriers, Totteridge and Downley Common, where the council favours brick walls and hedges at the front of houses.

Materials

Choosing a Patio

Our patio installation covers four materials, plus the steps and features that finish a patio off. We will help you pick what suits your house and how you use the garden.

  • Grey porcelain patio slabs laid outside sliding glass doors

    Porcelain patios

    Kiln-fired from dense clays, porcelain is very hard-wearing and needs little more than a sweep and a wash. It holds its colour and can last up to 40 years. Clean lines and a modern finish that runs neatly from the house into the garden.

  • Warm-toned sandstone patio with a brick step up to French doors, beside a grey fence

    Sandstone patios

    Natural sandstone in warm buffs, greys and browns, with a riven or smooth sawn finish. No two slabs are the same, and its natural texture gives good grip underfoot. It suits period houses and country gardens as well as modern ones.

  • Pale grey granite patio with an outdoor dining table, behind a white rendered house

    Granite patios

    Granite is one of the hardest natural stones there is. It shrugs off frost, wear and stains, and a flamed or textured finish keeps it grippy when wet. A strong, low-maintenance choice for busy patios and contemporary gardens.

  • Red brick block paving laid in a herringbone pattern outside white French doors

    Block paving patios

    A block paving patio is laid on a sand bed over a compacted sub-base, in herringbone, basketweave or stretcher bond. It is hard-wearing, easy to repair block by block, and ties in well with a block paved drive.

  • Circular paved patio feature beneath a timber pergola, surrounded by freshly dug borders

    Patio features

    Borders, circles, raised beds and built-in seating turn a flat patio into a space with a purpose. Brick walls and stone coping frame the edges and give you somewhere to sit or plant.

  • Curved brick retaining wall with wide stone steps up to a lawn, above a sandstone patio

    Steps and paths

    Steps link the patio to the lawn or a lower level, built with an even, comfortable rise so they are safe to use. Paths in stone, porcelain, stepping stones or gravel lead you round the rest of the garden.

FAQ

Patio Questions from High Wycombe

Can you build a patio on a sloping garden in High Wycombe?

Yes. Many gardens climb the valley side, so we terrace the patio with retaining walls and steps, and set falls that carry rainwater away from the house.

Which paving suits High Wycombe’s older houses?

The council’s appraisals favour local Bucks brick in the conservation areas, and natural stone with a brick edge sits well beside Victorian and Edwardian houses.

Do you lay patios and paths in the villages around High Wycombe?

Yes. As well as High Wycombe itself, we cover Booker, Bowerdean, Castlefield, Cressex, Daws Hill, Micklefield, Sands, Terriers, Totteridge and Downley, and the rest of the HP11, HP12 and HP13 postcode areas.

How long does it take to lay a new patio in High Wycombe?

It depends on the size of the patio, the material and how much has to come out first. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.

What types of patio does FirstScapes build in High Wycombe?

We lay porcelain, sandstone, granite and block paving patios in High Wycombe, along with the paths, steps and features that go with them. You can compare them in the section above.

Is porcelain or natural stone better for a patio?

Porcelain is very hard-wearing, needs little upkeep and can last up to 40 years. Natural stone has more character and far more variety, and suits older houses as well as modern ones. We will show you both when we visit.

Do I need planning permission for a patio?

Usually not for a patio at ground level in a back garden. You may need it if the patio is raised more than 30cm, if a hard surface in a front garden drains onto the road, or if your house is listed. We check this when we visit.

How much does a new patio cost in High Wycombe?

It depends on the size, the material you choose and the ground underneath. We need to measure it up and look at the site before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
