How Much Does a Porcelain Patio Cost?

The range

Northscape porcelain terraces typically run from £8,500 to £18,000.

Every figure here is a genuine Cumbrian range rather than a headline price. At your complimentary design visit we measure, survey the ground and give you a fixed written figure with nothing hidden beneath it.

  • Compact terrace, straightforward access — £8,500 to £11,000
  • Family terrace with steps and lighting — £11,000 to £15,000
  • Large terrace, level threshold, retaining — £15,000 to £18,000

Where the money goes

Base and labour dominate. Full mortar beds, slurry priming and individually set slabs are slow, skilled work — and that slowness is precisely what makes a porcelain terrace last.

  • Excavation and spoil removal
  • Concrete or full mortar base
  • Slab supply
  • Cutting, setting and jointing
  • Steps, upstands and drainage

Where you can save

Choosing a 600x600 format over a 1200x600, keeping the terrace a simple rectangle, and avoiding unnecessary level changes all reduce cost meaningfully without compromising the finish.
