Patio Builders Leigh-on-Sea

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 Leigh-on-Sea covet. Homebuyers are prepared to pay a high premium for a house in Leigh-on-Sea with a great patio.

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 the sunniest spot in your garden.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Circular, Square or Free-Form. 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. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Leigh-on-Sea. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go.

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 fit. 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.

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 Leigh-on-Sea. 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 Leigh-on-Sea who can help you.

Once you have the purpose, size and shape 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:

Patios may seem like a simple task anyone can take on, but for a great patio that you are proud of and excited to show off, a little bit of time and thought needs to be put into the planning process.

Decking vs Patio

Any garden or even a small courtyard in Leigh-on-Sea can be transformed by installing a patio or deck. But, which suits your objectives best?

If it's down to initial outlay, then decking gets the vote. Decking is cheaper and quite often quicker to lay than a similar size stone patio. As time passes maintenance costs can be more costly for a timber decking area, but this can be reduced by using rot resistant, composite materials. As is the case with any outdoor space in the garden, decking or patio, there will invariably be maintenance tasks that are required every year.

Slabbed patios are the preferred choice for those needing a more long-lasting surface that can endure heavy use right through the year in Leigh-on-Sea. The hard surfaces will last a lifetime, and even if a slab cracks or breaks, it's not going to have an adverse effect on the overall structure of the patio and can very easily be swapped. A cracked deck plank may become a hazard and will need to be replaced immediately, and it will probably not match the weathered decking planks already in place. Both patios and decking are fantastic options that will provide an outside space for the whole family to enjoy and take pleasure in.

Skip Hire Leigh-on-Sea

Whatever the extent of your patio installation project in Leigh-on-Sea it will probably produce a certain level of rubbish and waste which will not be appropriate for general disposal in your household bins. In actual fact, the environmentally safe disposal of any garden or building materials is managed by most local authorities in Great Britain. In order to remain safely within the law, this means your local council tip, or some other recognised recycling and disposal site is going to be the only legitimate place to dump this waste materials. Instead of putting yourself through the aggravation of continual journeys to the nearby council facility, you could look at renting a skip, and toss your waste in there.

A skip hire company in Leigh-on-Sea will provide guarantees that all of your waste will be delivered to an authorised facility for correct and safe disposal. The skip hire provider will need to be informed about the kind of waste that is going to be tossed into the skip, so speak to your works contractor concerning the type of waste that is going to be generated by the patio building project. The skip hire provider might need to use a totally separate disposal system, in particular where hazardous asbestos waste is involved.

The disposal of hazardous waste is controlled by rigorous legislation, and this is best left to the pros to handle. Your contractor and the skip hire service will work together to assure compliance with all rules and legislations.

If you've got a spot where a skip could be sited in your garden or drive, that is an ideal situation. If possible, your skip needs to be sited as near to your work area as is practical, however if you don't have any suitable place and your car is generally parked on the road, you might have to rely on the cooperation of neighbours. If you want a skip to sit on the curbside, you will require a permit from the local authority, however this is not needed for a driveway or private land in Leigh-on-Sea. You should ask your local council whether or not you need one. You can then rest assured that there will be no issues with the positioning of your skip.

Leigh-on-Sea skip hire companies offer skips of all shapes and sizes, and it is possible to rent anything from builders skips and huge roll-on roll-off monsters right down to skip bags and mini-skips. You can CLICK HERE for the latest skip hire prices in Leigh-on-Sea.
