Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How long does a typical patio installation take?

Most residential patios take between 3 to 5 working days depending on the size, ground excavation requirements, and weather. We work continuously until the project is finished without hopping between jobs.

Q. Do you lay slabs on a full wet mortar bed?

Yes, 100% of our installations use a full wet mortar bed with SBR bonding slurry applied to the underside of every slab. We never use 'dot-and-dab' or spot bedding, which causes slabs to rock, collect water, and crack.

Q. What fall gradient do you construct for drainage?

We engineer an exact fall slope of 1:60 to 1:80 directed safely away from your home into adjacent soft landscaping or discreet Aco channel drains connected to a soakaway.

Q. What guarantee do you provide on new patios?

Every patio built by JR Brickwork & Landscaping Ltd is covered by our comprehensive 10-year structural warranty against sinking and foundation failure.
