Sinking, uneven patios are common where ground is soft or made-up, and parts of Corby sit on land once quarried for ironstone. We dig every Corby patio down to firm ground before building it back up on 100mm of compacted MOT Type 1.
Each slab is then fully bedded in mortar and primed, never spot-bedded, so it stays flat and solid. We’re about half an hour away in Higham Ferrers.
Areas we cover: Corby, Priors Hall Park, Weldon, Oakley Vale, Great Oakley, Stanion and Gretton
Where gardens sit on restored quarry land, we dig until the ground is firm, so the sub-base and slabs can’t settle unevenly.
Corby’s higher, exposed gardens see hard frosts. Full mortar beds leave no hollow pockets for water to freeze and lift the slabs.
New gardens there suit porcelain patios that are easy to keep clean. We can extend a builder patio or replace it altogether.
Back garden patios rarely need permission. Raised patios over 30cm and front gardens have extra rules with North Northamptonshire Council.

Yes. We lift it, dig down to firm ground, rebuild the sub-base and re-lay on a full mortar bed.
Not if it’s laid properly. A full mortar bed leaves no hollows for water to freeze in.
Yes. Porcelain is popular there, as it’s hard-wearing and easy to clean.
