Porcelain Paving in Whitstable Operating Across Kent

Modernise your Whitstable garden with premium porcelain

Ever looked out at your garden after a classic Kentish downpour and thought it looked a bit, well, miserable? If you're dealing with a wooden deck that's turned into a skating rink or old stone slabs that have more moss than colour, you aren't alone. Many homeowners in Whitstable and Canterbury tell us they love their outdoor space but hate the constant scrubbing needed to keep it looking decent. That is where porcelain paving comes in. It is the ultimate 'fit and forget' solution for anyone who wants a stunning patio without the weekend-long cleaning sessions. At Foster and Sons Landscaping, we've been helping neighbours across Kent swap their tired old yards for sleek, modern outdoor living areas that actually stay looking new.

Why Choose Us?

Forget scrubbing moss and fighting frost

Why is everyone in Whitstable suddenly asking about porcelain? It’s simple: it is vitrified, which is just a fancy way of saying it’s fired at such high temperatures it becomes incredibly dense. Because it’s non-porous, it doesn't soak up water like traditional sandstone or concrete. This means when the sea fret rolls in from the coast or the frost hits in winter, your tiles won't crack or flake. Even better, that annoying green algae and those stubborn lichen 'black spots' can't get a grip on the surface. Whether it's a spilled glass of red wine during a BBQ or some mud from the dog's paws, a quick wipe with soapy water is usually all it takes to get it back to its best.

Who We Are

Safe surfaces with an R11 slip rating

One of the biggest worries we hear about is whether a shiny new patio will be slippery when wet. It is a fair question, especially with our unpredictable British weather. We only install porcelain with a minimum R11 slip rating. This means the surface has a slight texture that provides excellent grip underfoot, even when it’s been raining. It's the perfect choice if you have grandkids running around or if you're worried about older family members navigating the garden. You get that high-end, indoor-tile look but with the safety and ruggedness required for a coastal Kentish garden.

Foundations that won't let you down

We’ve all seen those patios where the slabs start wobbling after a year, haven't we? That usually happens because someone took a shortcut. At Foster and Sons, we do things properly. Because porcelain is so dense, it doesn't naturally stick to standard mortar. To fix this, we apply a high-grade slurry primer (often called SBR) to the back of every single tile. This creates a permanent chemical bond between the porcelain and the full bed of mortar underneath. We don't 'spot dab'—which is just putting five dots of cement on the corners—because that leaves hollow gaps where water collects and tiles crack. We lay a solid foundation so your patio stays level and secure for decades, not just for a season.

Create a seamless flow from your kitchen

Imagine opening your bifold doors and seeing your kitchen floor seem to continue right out into the garden. It makes even smaller Whitstable plots feel massive. We use 'rectified' porcelain, which means every slab is machine-cut to the exact same size with perfectly straight edges. This allows us to use ultra-thin 2-3mm grout lines, giving you that crisp, contemporary finish you see in the glossy magazines. Whether you're after a cool grey limestone look or a warm, wood-effect plank, we can help you pick a style that complements your home’s character.
