Outdoor Tiling

ABM Tiling specialises in outdoor tiling, laying weather-resistant, frost-proof tiles for patios, terraces, pathways, pool surrounds, balconies, and garden features in London properties. Outdoor tiling transforms exterior spaces into durable, stylish extensions of your home or business, withstanding the UK's variable climate while providing safe, low-maintenance surfaces that enhance kerb appeal and usability year-round.

Our process begins with a comprehensive site survey to assess drainage, substrate stability, and exposure levels. We prepare the base meticulously – ensuring proper falls for water runoff, stable screeds or bedding, and flexible movement joints to accommodate thermal expansion. Tiles are selected for high slip-resistance (R11-R13 ratings), frost resistance, and UV stability, sourced from trusted manufacturers in porcelain, natural stone, or composite materials suited to outdoor conditions.

Installation uses specialist flexible adhesives and grouts designed for exterior use, with sealing to protect against staining and efflorescence. We incorporate anti-slip features and tactile elements where needed for safety. Common applications include garden patios in family homes, rooftop terraces in modern apartments, commercial courtyards, pool decks in leisure facilities, and pathways in public spaces – all engineered for heavy foot traffic, furniture, and weathering.

Outdoor tiling is increasingly popular in London's urban gardens and al fresco dining areas, offering seamless transitions from indoor to outdoor living. Porcelain provides contemporary large-format looks with minimal maintenance, while natural stone delivers timeless elegance. ABM ensures compliance with building regulations, proper drainage to prevent pooling, and longevity against freeze-thaw cycles common in the UK.

ABM stands out for our expertise in challenging outdoor environments – we manage sloping sites, integrate with landscaping, and protect adjacent areas during works. Dust and disruption are minimised, ideal for occupied homes. Our portfolio showcases stunning outdoor transformations in residential gardens, hotel terraces, restaurant patios, and rooftop retreats throughout London, praised for durability and aesthetic integration.

What sets ABM apart is our focus on performance-matched beauty – we advise on tile choices for climate resilience, safety, and style harmony, delivering exteriors that look impeccable season after season with easy cleaning.
