Every patio must be laid with a fall of at least 1:60 to direct rainwater away from buildings. When this gradient is missing — or when slabs sink over time due to sub-base failure — water has nowhere to go. In clay-heavy areas like Evesham, Cheltenham, and Moreton-in-Marsh, seasonal ground movement can create new low spots even in previously well-laid patios.
Blocked ACO channels, clogged soakaways, and cracked jointing compound all prevent water from draining correctly. Once moisture penetrates the bedding layer, freeze-thaw cycles in winter lift slabs and worsen the problem. Repointing with resin-based jointing compound and clearing or installing drainage channels resolves these issues permanently.
Plex Group inspects existing levels with laser levels, identifies the root cause, and implements the correct solution — whether that's re-levelling sections, rebuilding the sub-base, adding drainage, or a combination. Across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire, we resolve patio drainage issues that have been causing problems for years.
