About Porcelain Patios
What Are Porcelain Patios?
Porcelain paving has become the defining surface of the contemporary British garden. Fired at extreme temperatures, outdoor porcelain is denser and harder than natural stone, giving you a flawlessly flat, low-absorption finish that refuses to stain, fade, or attract moss. Large-format tiles — often 600x600mm or 900x900mm — create a clean, uninterrupted plane with minimal grout lines, making even modest Shropshire gardens feel spacious and architectural.

FAQs
Porcelain Patios — Frequently Asked Questions
Is porcelain paving slippery when wet?
Quality outdoor porcelain is rated R11 slip-resistant — safe for patios and around pools. We only install externally rated porcelain with a textured finish.
Does porcelain paving need sealing?
No. Porcelain is virtually non-porous, so it doesn't absorb water or stains and never requires sealing — a key advantage over natural stone.
How long does a porcelain patio last?
Properly installed on a full mortar bed with the correct sub-base, a porcelain patio will easily last 25+ years with no maintenance beyond occasional washing.
How much does a porcelain patio cost?
As a guide, a quality porcelain patio installed on a full mortar bed typically starts from around £90–£140 per m² depending on tile choice, area size and ground preparation. We provide a free, itemised quotation after a site visit so you get an exact figure with no surprises.
How long does installation take?
An average patio of 30–50 m² takes around 4–6 working days from excavation to final grouting. Larger or more complex layouts with steps, circles or multiple levels take proportionally longer — we'll give you a clear timeframe with your quote.
How do I maintain a porcelain patio?
Very little. A regular sweep and an occasional wash with warm soapy water keeps it looking new. Avoid acid-based cleaners, and for stubborn marks a gentle pressure wash on a wide-fan setting is all that's needed — no sealing, no re-pointing.
