Indian Sandstone Patios in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Tameside

It's one thing to lay a few flags; it's another thing entirely to build a patio that stands the test of time. We've been at this for over 25 years now at Insight PS. As a family-run business, our reputation in the Tameside area means everything to us. We don't just "do a job" and disappear. We're proud members of Checkatrade and Trust a Trader, so you know you're getting local experts who actually care about the finish. Ever noticed how some patios start to wobble or sink after a heavy North West downpour? That's usually because the groundwork was rushed. We do things properly from the bottom up, ensuring your investment stays level for years.

Not sure which colour will suit your brickwork? Indian sandstone comes in some stunning shades that look completely natural. Kandla Grey is a massive favourite right now because it looks sleek and modern, especially when it's wet. If you prefer something warmer, Raj Green or Autumn Brown offer those earthy tones that blend perfectly with more traditional Tameside homes. You can also choose between a Riven finish—which has that lovely rugged, natural texture—or a Sawn and Honed edge if you're after a smooth, contemporary look that's easy on the feet. Whatever your style, we'll help you pick the right stone to match your home's character.

The secret to a patio that looks as good in ten years as it does on day one isn't actually the stone—it’s what’s underneath it. We follow BS 7533 standards, which is just a professional way of saying we do the groundwork to the highest possible spec. We use a solid sub-base of MOT Type 1 hardcore, compacted down so it won't shift an inch. We also make sure the drainage is spot on. Nobody wants a pond forming on their patio every time it rains in Ashton! We use high-quality resin-based jointing compounds that stop weeds from poking through, saving you hours of kneeling and scraping in the summer.

While we're based locally, we cover a fair bit of ground around Ashton-under-Lyne. If you're in Dukinfield, Mossley, or Droylsden, we're just a quick phone call away. We've transformed gardens all over the OL6 and OL7 postcodes, helping homeowners make the most of their outdoor space. From small, cosy seating areas perfect for a morning brew to massive multi-level transformations, no project is too big or small for our team. We handle the site clearance, the heavy digging, and the final clean-up, so you don't have to lift a finger.
