Patios in Yarm: common questions

How much does a new patio cost in Yarm?

Across Teesside, expect £70 to £120 per m² installed for concrete flags, £90 to £150 for natural stone, and £100 to £160 for porcelain, groundwork included. Quotes that skip mention of sub base depth are not comparable with ones that specify it, the groundwork is where the money goes.

Porcelain or natural stone?

Porcelain is harder wearing, stain resistant and needs little maintenance, but costs more and cuts slower. Natural stone, particularly sandstone, is cheaper upfront and suits older properties, but needs sealing and weathers more. Both fail fast on a poor sub base, that is the bit to get right.

Do I need planning permission for a patio?

Generally no, patios are permitted development at any height below 30cm. Raised terraces above that, or work in conservation areas or on listed buildings, can need consent. Drainage matters more than planning, surface water should not run toward the house or onto a neighbour's land.
