Our Solution

Scope of Work

The transformation process was thorough and precise, with attention to every detail:

  1. Plant Bed Removal: We began by removing the existing plant beds, clearing the space to create a blank canvas for the new patio. This involved the careful removal of soil and plant material to prepare the ground for the base.
  2. Excavation and Type 1 MOT Base: After clearing the area, we excavated the site to the necessary depth and installed a Type 1 MOT base. This provided a stable and durable foundation for the porcelain tiles.
  3. Weed Membrane Installation: To ensure that weeds would not grow through the porcelain tiles, we laid a weed membrane across the prepared base. This step is essential in maintaining the pristine look and durability of the patio.
  4. Sand and Cement Bed for Porcelain Studs: A sand and cement bed was then carefully laid to support the porcelain tiles. This ensures that each tile is securely positioned while maintaining a smooth and level surface.
  5. Manhole Cover Installation: A key feature of this project was the installation of a new manhole cover, which was seamlessly integrated into the porcelain patio design. We ensured the manhole cover matched the tiling, creating a cohesive and uninterrupted look.
  6. Porcelain Tile Installation: The porcelain tiles were laid with precision, using porcelain studs to ensure perfect spacing and alignment throughout the entire patio area.
  7. Jointing Compound: To finish the project, we applied a jointing compound between the tiles, providing a durable and weather-resistant solution for the joints. This not only added to the aesthetic appeal but also ensured the longevity of the patio.
