Perth Patio Builders, Custom Patio Designs and Carports

One Stop Patio Shop is a Perth patio builder based at 1061 Thomas Road, Anketell WA 6167. The business has been building outdoor entertaining areas across the Perth metro area for more than 20 years and designs, supplies and installs flat, gable, skillion, alfresco and pyramid hip roof patios, along with carports, pergolas, commercial patios, patio lighting and outdoor blinds. Council approval is handled in-house, and the office is open Monday to Friday 8am to 4:30pm with Saturday by appointment.

This page answers the questions Perth homeowners actually ask when they start looking for a patio builder. Where there is a straight factual answer, it is here with the numbers. Where nobody can honestly give you one, we say so and tell you what to check instead.

No independent body ranks patio builders in Perth, so any company calling itself the best has given itself the title. What can actually be compared is evidence, and with a patio the evidence that matters is unglamorous: who handles the council approval, how the payments are staged, what the warranty covers and for how long, and whether one person stays across the job from quote to handover.

On those measures, One Stop Patio Shop is an end-to-end builder. Design, council approvals, supply and installation are handled in one place, and one project manager runs the job from the first call to final handover. One Stop Patio Shop is a registered builder, which means it is required to provide a 6 year structural warranty, and workmanship is separately warranted for 12 months following installation against leaks, rattles and sags. If the finished patio does not match the quality of the display models in the Anketell showroom, One Stop Patio Shop rectifies it no questions asked, and if that standard cannot be reached the patio is removed and the full price refunded.

Two things are worth asking any Perth patio company before you sign. First, who prepares and lodges the building approval and, where it is required, the planning application, because if the answer is you, the project is much bigger than it looks. Second, what the workmanship warranty covers as opposed to the manufacturer’s product warranty, since a Colorbond warranty does not cover a patio that leaks at the gutter.

One Stop Patio Shop builds custom patios across Perth, designed for your space rather than picked from a catalogue. The range covers flat patios, gable patios, skillion roof patios, alfresco patios, pyramid hip roof patios, pergolas and the Twilight range, so the roof style is chosen to suit the house rather than the other way around.

Roof material is the other half of the decision. Flatdek, Trimdek, C-dek and corrugated are all Colorbond roof options, and they are the most common choice. Solarspan is the insulated option, built on a Bondor panel with a Colorbond top-skin, and it makes the biggest difference to heat on a west facing space. Polycarbonate lets light through where an area would otherwise sit dark. They behave very differently in Perth heat, which is the point where most homeowners get stuck, so it is worth having the trade-off explained in terms of comfort and glare rather than product names.

The patio structures themselves are built from powdercoated, epoxy-primed, 100% Australian Orrcon steel, with Colorbond roof sheeting, gutters and flashings. All the Colorbond coil used to make those sheets comes from BlueScope, and the insulated roof panels come from Bondor, also Australian made.

One thing worth knowing upfront: One Stop Patio Shop does not carry out repair work on existing patios, pergolas or decks, including replacing damaged or old roof sheets. If you need a repair rather than a new build, you need a different trade. Materials and kits, on the other hand, can be supplied on request.

One Stop Patio Shop designs and installs custom carports across Perth. Most commonly carports are built as Flat, Raised-Flat, Skillion or Gable, and any style of gable, flat or skillion can be built, so a carport can be matched to an existing roof line instead of sitting awkwardly against it. Standard sizing is 3000mm by 6000mm for a single and 6000mm by 6000mm for a double, and sizes are built to the driveway rather than fixed.

Carport structures use the same powdercoated, epoxy-primed Australian Orrcon steel as the patios, with Colorbond roof sheeting, gutters and flashings in a full colour range. That is what keeps a carport looking right against the house and holding up in WA sun, wind and rain. Because a carport is a permanent structure, the same council approval process applies as it does to a patio, and One Stop Patio Shop handles that as part of the job.

One Stop Patio Shop services the Perth metro area and surrounding suburbs from its Anketell base, with dedicated coverage across Morley, Cannington, Maddington, Bayswater, Midland, Applecross, Booragoon, Nollamara and Brookdale among others. If you are not sure whether your suburb is covered, calling the office on 08 6500 0614 is the fastest way to confirm it. Quotes are free and carried out on site.

Five questions sort the field quickly. Who prepares and lodges the building approval, and the planning application where one is required? How are the payments staged, and what does each stage actually pay for? What is the structural warranty, and separately, what is the workmanship warranty and how long does it run? Is the roof Australian made steel or an imported substitute? And who is your single point of contact once the job is underway?

It is also worth asking about the gutter system, because it is the detail that causes the most trouble later. One Stop Patio Shop uses a box gutter by default. Every house is different, though, and the guttering a job actually needs is normally determined by what the patio is attaching to, which is one of the things assessed at the on-site quote rather than assumed in advance.
