Getting It Right in Kings Norton

The right answer depends on what's actually going on, which is why we assess the garden before recommending anything. Common factors we look at include:

• The paving material chosen - porcelain, sandstone or concrete
• The size and shape of the patio area
• Whether an existing patio needs lifting first

In many cases in Kings Norton it's possible to resolve the issue without starting again from scratch - though for some older gardens a fuller job ends up being the more practical route.
