Those sloping gardens typical of Banstead's hillside properties deserve level, lasting foundations. Whether transforming a steep plot near Nork Woods or creating parking space for your Edwardian semi, concrete slabs form the backbone of practical outdoor spaces.

Banstead's mix of period homes and newer developments presents unique groundwork challenges. Clay soil shifts, tree roots from mature gardens cause havoc, and those characteristic Surrey slopes demand proper engineering. A well-laid concrete slab transforms unusable spaces into functional areas that withstand decades of British weather.
Ground preparation begins with excavation to stable subsoil, typically 150-200mm below finished level. Hardcore compaction follows, creating a firm base that prevents future settlement. Steel mesh reinforcement sits within the concrete pour, distributing weight evenly across the slab. This methodical approach ensures your new surface remains crack-free despite frost cycles and summer heat.
Living in SM7 means understanding local soil conditions and planning requirements. Years spent working across Epsom Downs and Tadworth have taught us which areas need deeper foundations, where drainage matters most.

Basic slabs start around £65-80 per square metre, though challenging slopes or poor access can push costs higher. Most driveways in the area fall between £2,500-£4,000 depending on size and ground conditions.
Absolutely - from the Banstead Village conservation area to newer estates near Nork Park. Regular projects span the entire SM7 district including properties backing onto Banstead Commons.
Standard patio slabs take 3-4 days including excavation and curing time. Larger driveways might need a week, weather permitting.
Every slab installation includes decade-long coverage against structural defects. This warranty covers cracking, settlement issues, and workmanship faults - genuine peace of mind for your investment.
Reinforced slabs designed for vehicle use accommodate weights up to 3.5 tonnes comfortably. Thicker pours with additional steel reinforcement support heavier loads - essential for many Banstead properties with recreational vehicles.
