We very recently had a new patio installed, 10m x 4m overall size. Now that we've seen a bit of rain, there's an area which clearly isn't draining as well as the rest, with a shallow depression in the gradient.

Is this likely to cause long term damage? Im pretty sure the team would come back and fix if needed. The water here seems to be around 3mm deep and took over 5hrs to dry off compared to the rest of the patio. It's the only bit of the patio that does this.

^ I think this is most likely the best course of action.

The guy laying it was checking levels all the time so it looks likely it's a minor mistake when laying the final few towards the front corner. The sleepers we're in place already as this is a replacement for an existing patio.

They are on a full wet base, and used EasyJoint compound between the slabs.

The gaps between the tiles is spot on and we're really pleased it it overall so will try to get the guys back to fix this area.
