Our Patio Building Service in Kilcogy

We handle every step of patio construction, from digging out the base to laying the final slab or block. You get a solid foundation that lasts.

Materials and Process We Use
Our process is the same whether we’re working here or on a patio construction in Shercock: careful preparation and proper laying. We use laser levels and plate compactors to get everything true and level. All materials are sourced locally when possible.
- Sub-base compacted with a whacker plate for stability
- Sharp sand or grit sand screeded to an even fall
- Slabs or blocks laid with consistent, tight joints
- Edges supported with concrete haunching to prevent movement

Common questions about patio construction in Kilcogy
How long does it take to build a patio in Kilcogy?
It depends on the size and weather, but a typical 30m² patio takes 3 to 5 days, including preparation, laying, and finishing. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you provide the materials or do I need to buy them?
We source all materials for you, from slabs to sand and cement, and include them in the quote. You don’t need to worry about a thing. This saves you time and ensures the right products are used.
What about drainage, will water pool on the patio?
We always create a slight slope away from your house and use a proper sub-base so water drains off the surface. No puddles after rain. Our patios are designed for heavy rain common in Cavan.
Can you match my existing patio or driveway?
Yes, we can source matching or complementary materials to blend with your existing hard landscaping. We’ll bring samples to your home to compare. This way your new patio ties together with the rest of your outdoor space.

More about our patio construction work
Kilcogy has its own conditions when it comes to patio construction. The ground, the weather exposure, and the type of homes in the area all play a part in how we approach the job. We have worked on plenty of projects around Kilcogy over the years, so we know what to expect. That local knowledge saves time and means fewer surprises once we start.
We do all kinds of patio construction work in Kilcogy. Some jobs are straightforward, others need a bit more thought. Either way, we price the work honestly and do not cut corners. If we hit a problem during the build, we stop and talk to you about it before carrying on. That is just how we work.
A lot of our work in Kilcogy comes from word of mouth. Someone sees a job we have done at a neighbour’s house or hears about us from a family member. That matters to us. We know that in a place like Kilcogy, reputation travels fast. So we make sure every job, big or small, gets the same attention to detail.
If you need other work done around the property, we can often combine it with the patio construction job and save you time.
