Patio Installation in Lewisham
Patios in Lewisham — London Borough of Lewisham
Lewisham patios are mostly Victorian terrace gardens: narrow, walled on both sides, often with a side return and rarely with rear access. The paving is straightforward; getting materials in and spoil out is the real job.
What matters for patios in Lewisham
No rear access
Where there is no side gate, everything comes through the house. We board and sheet the route, barrow in and out, and clean down every evening so you are not living on a building site.
Small spaces, small formats
In a narrow courtyard, oversized slabs mean cuts on every edge and a cluttered look. Smaller formats, or a single-size layout planned around the exact width, give a much calmer result.
Boundary walls
These gardens are usually enclosed by old stock brick walls. If the wall needs repointing or the coping has failed, doing it while the patio base is open avoids a second lot of mess later.

Patios in Lewisham — your questions
Can you pave a side return in a Lewisham terrace?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do here. The key details are getting a fall away from both walls, staying below the damp proof course, and providing drainage where the space is enclosed and cannot simply run off to soil.
