At Orvis Builders, we design and install high-quality patios that enhance your property and provide a practical space for relaxing and entertaining. Whether you’re creating a new patio or transforming an existing garden, our experienced team works with you to develop a design that suits your style, needs and budget.
From initial planning and ground preparation to patio construction and finishing, we manage every stage of the project. Using quality materials, including porcelain and Indian sandstone, we create attractive, durable patios built to be enjoyed for years to come.
Choosing the right materials is essential for creating an attractive, durable patio. We help you explore different patio paving options, considering their appearance, maintenance requirements and suitability for your project.
Porcelain paving is a popular choice for modern patios, offering a sleek finish, excellent durability and low maintenance. Available in a variety of colours and finishes, porcelain is ideal for creating a contemporary outdoor space.
Our team provides porcelain patio installation, ensuring the correct ground preparation and professional laying for a durable, attractive finish.
Indian sandstone offers a natural, timeless appearance, with unique colours and textures that suit both traditional and contemporary gardens. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for creating a warm, welcoming outdoor space.
We design and install Indian sandstone patios, carefully considering the layout, paving patterns and finishing details to achieve a result that complements your property.
Looking for something different? We also install granite paving, including yellow granite as featured in our Hauxton patio project, and offer decking as an alternative to paving.
We can help you explore materials and finishes to find an option that complements your property, suits your outdoor space and works within your budget.
At Orvis Builders, we manage every stage of your patio project, from the initial design to the finishing touches. Our approach ensures your new patio is carefully planned, professionally constructed and built to last.

As an initial estimate, patio installation starts from around £160 per square metre plus VAT, including standard ground preparation.
This is a guide price, not a fixed quotation. The final cost depends on the size of the patio, your chosen paving materials, site access and the amount of preparation required. At Orvis Builders, we assess your requirements and provide a tailored quotation for your project.
The best patio material depends on your budget, preferred style and maintenance requirements. Porcelain is a popular choice for modern patios because it’s durable, low maintenance and resistant to staining. Indian sandstone offers a more traditional, natural appearance, with unique colours and textures, although it generally requires more maintenance than porcelain. At Orvis Builders, we can help you compare the options and choose the most suitable material for your project.
As a guide, a typical patio installation takes approximately one to three weeks, depending on its size. The complexity of the project, ground conditions and materials selected can also affect the timescale.
We’ll discuss the estimated duration during the planning stage so you know what to expect.
Most ground-level patios in England do not require planning permission. However, raised patios, significant changes to ground-levels or properties with specific restrictions may require additional consideration. We recommend checking any relevant requirements before work begins.
Yes. Orvis Builders can help with both patio design and installation, from planning the layout and selecting suitable materials to preparing the ground and completing the construction.
Yes. We normally supply the materials for your patio, but we can also work with materials you provide. We’ll discuss your preferred paving and the quantities required during the planning stage.
If you are supplying your own paving, speak to us before ordering so we can advise on quantities, including an allowance for cuts and breakages.
We recommend getting in touch several months before you would like your patio completed. Winter, particularly January, is a good time to discuss your plans and arrange the work for the summer ahead.
We’ll discuss availability and your preferred completion date when preparing your quotation. Booking early gives us more time to plan the work and arrange materials.
