Porcelain Paving Cost Guide Surrey 2025: What You'll Really Pay

Porcelain paving costs £80-200/m² materials plus £60-100/m² installation (40m² patio: £8,000-£18,000 total). Premium brands: Marshalls Symphony (£150-200/m²), Bradstone Mode (£130-170/m²). Mid-range: Royale Stones (£80-110/m²). Costs 35-50% more than natural stone upfront BUT zero maintenance saves £2,000-3,500/decade vs stone's annual sealing (£150-250). Key advantages: zero water absorption, stain-proof, frost-proof, UV stable, 50+ year lifespan. Installation complexity requires PPA accredited specialist (DIY failure rate 30-40%). Essential sub-base: 100mm MOT + 50mm concrete screed + adhesive. Surrey pricing 10-15% above national average. Real project examples from Camberley (budget), Guildford (mid-range), Virginia Water (premium) with actual costs and outcomes.
