What porcelain patios in Whissendine usually involve
We lay porcelain, Indian sandstone and natural stone patios on a full mortar bed, with a bonding primer on porcelain, falls away from the house and levels kept 150mm below the damp proof course.
Whissendine, on the north western edge of Rutland near the Leicestershire border, is known for its working windmill, and has a long main street of stone and brick houses, farm conversions and newer homes. Bigger gardens and longer drives are common.
We cover Whissendine (LE15) and the villages around it, including Langham, Teigh, Ashwell, Pickwell and Stapleford.
Ground, drainage and conservation in Whissendine
Whissendine is on the clay of the Vale, and the Whissendine Brook runs through the village. Ground drains slowly, so we design the base and the water route before anything else.
Whissendine is not one of Rutland's conservation areas and has no Article 4 direction, so normal permitted development rules apply outside listed buildings.
Rutland's flood strategy records that Main Street in Whissendine floods and becomes impassable, and names the village among the places with a few properties at river flood risk. You can check any address on the Environment Agency flood map.
