Patio repairs and garden drainage in Cheadle
Cheadle is a mixed bag of housing — Victorian and Edwardian around the village, thirties semis spreading out from it, and post-war estates beyond. The jobs vary just as much.
What ties them together is water. More of our Cheadle calls start with drainage than with paving.
About ten minutes from the office.
Why so many Cheadle jobs start with water
Parts of Cheadle sit on low ground near the Mersey and the Micker Brook, and that ground holds water and gives it up slowly. A garden that would drain naturally two miles up the hill will sit wet here for days after the same rainfall.
It shows up as waterlogged lawn, moss taking over the grass, and patios that never properly dry. It also shortens the life of paving: water sitting in a sand laying course washes it out from underneath, and the slabs follow.
Fixing the paving without fixing the water is money spent twice. On most Cheadle quotes we price the drainage first and tell you honestly whether the paving then needs anything at all.
What we are usually called out for here
- Lawns that stay wet for days and go to moss
- Standing water on patios that should be shedding it
- Paving dropping where the laying course has washed out
- Older stone and concrete flags around the village needing lifting and relaying
- Block paving spreading where the edge restraint was never haunched
