PATIO PRICING
How Much Does Patio Laying Cost?
Patio laying costs depend on the size, materials, and ground preparation needed. ELawnCare charges £70 per m² for patio tiling labour across Cambridge. This covers laying on a prepared base, cutting to fit, and pointing. Tiles or slabs are supplied separately by the customer. A 20m² patio would cost £1,400 in labour plus materials.
For existing patios that just need refreshing, jet washing is available at £4 per m² with an £80 minimum. Coverage spans CB1 to CB25 with no callout charge within 8 miles. The business carries £2 million public liability insurance.

Patio cost breakdown
Labour: £70 per m² for laying. This includes cutting tiles to fit edges and pointing joints. Sub-base preparation, if the ground needs excavating and a hardcore base laying, is quoted separately. Slab or tile supply varies hugely: budget porcelain starts around £20 per m², natural stone runs £40 to £80 per m².
A 15m² patio with budget tiles costs roughly £1,350 labour plus £300 materials, totalling around £1,650. The same area with premium natural stone could reach £2,250 or more.
Jet washing existing patios
If the patio is structurally sound but dirty, jet washing at £4 per m² with an £80 minimum is far cheaper than relaying. Most patios clean up well with a professional pressure wash. ELawnCare uses commercial equipment that delivers a better result than domestic pressure washers.
