Patio Builders Biggin Hill

Having a well laid out patio area will not just add extra living space to your home but can also add to your property's value. Patio areas are a highly prized feature that homeowners and buyers in Biggin Hill covet. Homebuyers are willing to pay a high premium for a house in Biggin Hill with a great patio.

Size: Determining the size of your patio is very important. As stated above, a large patio can overwhelm a smaller garden, and vice versa. You can figure out how large your patio needs to be by deciding on how you intend to use it and how many people it should cater for. Measure the size of your garden to see how much area you are working with, how much space you are willing to allot to your patio, etc. One good tip I've come across, is to buy your patio furniture before you install your patio, arrange it where you expect your patio to be, and observe how the space is used, where people walk, etc. This will help you see just how much room is needed for walk space around the furniture, accessories, and more.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Free-Form, Square or Circular. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens. Circular patios can either be a full circle or a half circle. The full circle patio is generally independent of other hardscapes and usually feature a focal point. Half circle patios abut either a building, such as your home, or another hardscape form, like a garden wall. Circular patios blend well into landscapes since there are no hard edges that stand out. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Biggin Hill. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go.

Positioning: When deciding where to place your patio, it is very important to consider multiple aspects and ask yourself a few questions. What is the purpose for your patio? Do you intend to entertain large groups of people, or host intimate gatherings? Depending on the purpose of your patio, you then need to consider the proximity to your home. If you are installing a fireplace or fire pit, you need to make sure there is a good distance between your home and where the fire will be contained. You need to look at the available space in your garden. An over-sized patio will overtake a smaller garden. Another consideration is the amount of sun or shade you desire. If you plan to use your patio for sunbathing, you need to make sure it is in a sunny spot in your garden.

These things are important and you will be glad that you considered all of these options before you pressed ahead and actually built your patio in Biggin Hill. Planning is key with any project like this and it will be difficult to change things later if you get it wrong and your patio simply doesn't look right. Of course it is still possible to put things right, but not without a lot of mess and disruption. If there is anything you are not sure about there are plenty of great patio builders in Biggin Hill who can help you.

Once you have the size, shape and purpose of your patio planned out, you can then move on to selecting appropriate paving materials. Before you jump right in and order slate tiles to go next to your pool, you need to ask yourself the following ten questions:

Decking vs Patio - Which is Best?

You've identified a space in your garden in Biggin Hill that's the ideal position for relaxing outdoors, and you intend to install a patio or deck. But, which of these options best suits your needs?

If it's down to initial cost, then decking wins hands down. If you analyze the material and installation costs for decking over an equivalent sized patio, decking is much cheaper. In the long term the maintenance costs for timber decking can be more expensive, but much of this can be avoided by using rot resistant, composite materials. Obviously there's invariably some routine yearly maintenance to think about, but this is true for patios too.

If you want it to be a hard wearing and durable area, that's where patios come out on top. These hard surfaces will last a lifetime, and even if a slab breaks or cracks, it will not impact on the overall structure of the patio and can be quickly repaired or changed. A cracked decking plank can become dangerous and will need to be replaced immediately, and it will probably not match the weathered deck planks already in place. At the end of the day, each option will offer you many years of outdoor enjoyment for the entire family.

Skip Hire Biggin Hill

Whatever the extent of your patio building project in Biggin Hill it is likely to create a certain level of rubbish and waste which won't be appropriate for general disposal in your rubbish bins. In most areas of the British Isles, the environmentally safe disposal of any construction or garden materials is managed by the local council. This means that if you are to stay safely within the law, you will have to take your waste to an official disposal and recycling facility, normally a council tip. Perhaps you could spare yourself the trouble of carrying waste back and forth to your nearest Household Recycling Centre, and rent a skip instead.

A skip hire service in Biggin Hill will offer a guarantee that your waste will be transferred to an authorised facility for correct and safe disposal. Talk to the skip hire company regarding the type of waste that is likely to be generated by your patio project, and also double check this with the contractor. If asbestos waste may be involved for instance, it may mean that your skip hire provider will have to use an entirely separate disposal system for the harmful waste.

The disposal of hazardous waste is covered by stringent regulations, and it's recommended that you leave it to the pros to handle. Your patio layer and the skip hire company will work closely together to ensure all the guidelines and regulations are complied with.

You should not have any problems or issues with hiring a skip if your driveway or garden has a space where one can be positioned. On the reverse side of the coin, if you've got no suitable area, and you park your car on the public highway, you might need to seek the help of your nearby neighbours, and see if they could leave a space for the skip someplace close to your property. Skips put on a public road in Biggin Hill will need a temporary permit from the local council, however this won't be required if it is positioned on private land. Enquire if you need a permit at your local council offices. You can then be sure that the placement of your skip will not be a problem.

Biggin Hill area skip hire companies offer skips of all sizes and shapes, and you are able to rent just about anything from skip bags and mini-skips right up to enormous roll on roll off versions and builders skips. GO HERE to get a skip hire quote in Biggin Hill.
