Moore & Son Bricklaying provide patio installation services across Botley and the wider SO30 postcode, including Hedge End, Horton Heath, and Boorley Green. Whether your property is in the older streets near Botley High Street or on one of the newer residential developments to the east of the village, we cover the full area and bring the same level of preparation and finish to every job.
Botley sits on variable ground that directly influences how a patio should be constructed. Properties near the River Hamble and the lower-lying fields to the west can sit on wetter, clay-influenced soil that expands and contracts seasonally. Without a proper sub-base and adequate drainage, patios on this type of ground shift and settle over time, causing slabs to lift and joints to crack. Older village properties sometimes present additional challenges once excavation begins — buried rubble, old brick paths beneath the lawn, or tree roots that need clearing before a stable formation can be established. We survey thoroughly before quoting and include any necessary ground preparation in our written price.
Our patio installations in the Botley area start with excavation to a minimum of 150mm below the finished level, followed by a compacted type-1 hardcore sub-base and a mortar bed suited to the conditions. We supply all materials directly — Indian sandstone, slate, porcelain, and concrete flags — removing the need for you to coordinate deliveries from separate suppliers. Slabs are laid to correct falls for drainage, fully pointed on completion, and the site is tidied down and all spoil removed before we leave. We also install step edges, drainage channels, and borders as part of the project where required.
When comparing patio quotes in Botley, it is worth establishing what each price actually covers. Spoil removal, sub-base materials, and drainage are sometimes quoted separately, which can make a headline figure look more attractive than it is. Our quotes are itemised in writing so you can see exactly what is included — materials, labour, sub-base, pointing, and site clearance — with no additions at the end of the job.
