New Patios in Bray

A patio in Bray should suit the way you actually spend time outdoors. That means thinking first about where the table will go, which part of the garden gets the evening sun and how you move from the back door onto the paving. The size, shape and levels are then agreed with you before any digging.

You choose your stone at home, not from a catalogue. Porcelain, granite and limestone samples come to the FREE design visit, letting you see porcelain's even, easy-clean face, granite's hard-wearing fine speckle and limestone's soft blue-grey against your own Bray house.

For a back door with a step down, steps and edging can be laid in the same stone, so the patio finishes neatly right up to the house.

Underneath the slabs is a dug-out, compacted base. Each slab is fully bedded so there are no hollow spots, the surface is laid to a gentle fall so rain drains away from the house, and the installation carries a 5-year warranty.

FAQs

Patios FAQs for Bray

Do You Lay Patios in Bray?

Yes. Bray in Co. Wicklow is around 30 km from our Swords base, and patios are laid there and in nearby Greystones, Enniskerry, Shankill and Kilmacanogue. Call 1800 938 832 with your Eircode to book a FREE site visit. Every job is fully insured.

How Do I Get a Price for Patios in Bray?

Which Patio Stone Is Best for an Irish Garden?

All three will handle Irish weather if they are laid on a sound base. Porcelain is the least work to keep clean, granite is the most hard-wearing and limestone gives a traditional blue-grey look. Because the right choice often depends on the light, samples come to your garden so you can decide on the spot.

Will a Porcelain Patio Be Slippery in the Rain?

Garden porcelain comes with a textured surface designed to grip in the rain. Its slip resistance is rated on an R scale, and R11 is generally the accepted minimum for outdoor use; outdoor slabs are typically 20mm thick. At the visit you can compare the feel of each sample with flamed granite or textured limestone.

How Big Should My Patio Be?

Size it around the furniture you intend to use, with room left over to walk around and move chairs comfortably. At the visit the area is marked out with you on the ground, which lets you see and test the size before anything is dug.

What Affects the Cost of a New Patio?

The biggest factor is size, then the stone, the excavation and base work your ground needs, and extras such as steps or edge pieces. Porcelain is slow to cut, which adds labour time. A clear price follows the FREE site visit, and there is no deposit; you pay when the job is complete.

Can the Patio Be Level With My Back Door?

The patio is laid a little under the door threshold, with a gentle fall running away from the house, rather than perfectly level. Rainwater then drains into the garden and does not run back towards your door. The finished levels are agreed with you at the visit.

How Much Fall Should a Patio Have?

Most guides recommend a 1 in 60 fall, which works out at about 17mm per metre, away from the house. Some porcelain suppliers say 1:80 is enough for their flatter slabs. The fall on your patio, and where the water ends up, is agreed with you at the visit.

Can You Lay a Patio Over My Old Slabs?

No, and for good reason. Old slabs and their bed are always lifted, because anything wrong beneath them would remain under the new paving. Your new patio is laid on a properly prepared base that is dug out and compacted from scratch.

Does a New Patio Need Sealing?

No sealing is needed on porcelain, as it is non-porous. Granite is easy to care for with a sweep and a wash now and again. Limestone can be sealed to make marks easier to lift, but that is optional, and the options are explained when you choose the stone.

Is There a Warranty on a New Patio?

Yes. Each new patio installation carries a 5-year warranty, and the slabs come with their manufacturer's warranty as well. On top of that, no deposit is needed: you pay once the patio is complete, although larger projects may be paid in stages.

How Can I Tell a Patio Has Been Laid Well?

Signs of good work: no slab moves underfoot, rain clears from the surface without leaving puddles, and slab edges meet almost flush, with about 2mm the usual tolerance. Joints should be full and consistent, and paving should sit 150mm or more down from the damp proof course apart from at doorways, leaving air bricks uncovered.
