Massive puddle in middle of patio :(
Hi, great site n advice, cn ani1 help me?
I recently paid for my patio to be relaid with existed flags. They did a visually good job but then a month later we had a storm, it rained for 2 days. It then became aparent that there was no run off for the excess water and infact the water ran into the centre of the patio where it sat until I assume evaporated. This took a couple of days to completely clear.
What can I do, the company doesn't 'exist' anymore, I can't afford to have it relaid and as a single mum, I don't have the time or strength to do it myself??
Any advise would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance

my mate did this on his drive and although not perfect it's better than wearing wellies to get to the car.
