Common questions Stainesai
The cost is influenced by the size of the patio, choice of materials, and complexity of the design.
A standard patio typically takes 3-5 days to complete, including preparation and setting time.
Common materials include bricks, blocks, and flags, often set on a sand or mortar bed.
Planning permission is generally not required for patios unless it's part of a listed building or exceeds certain size limits. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
