Those Victorian terraces around Carshalton Beeches weren't built with modern cars in mind. A properly laid concrete slab transforms cramped front gardens into practical parking spaces that last decades.

Carshalton's clay soil presents unique challenges when laying concrete foundations. After installing hundreds of slabs across SM5, from compact Hackbridge gardens to sprawling Sutton borders, experience has taught us exactly how deep to dig and which reinforcement patterns work best. Every project starts with understanding your specific ground conditions.
Steel mesh reinforcement sits precisely 50mm from the base, preventing those spider-web cracks that plague amateur installations. Proper expansion joints accommodate seasonal movement, while carefully calculated gradients ensure rainwater flows away from foundations. These technical details separate a twenty-year slab from one that fails after five winters.
Local knowledge matters when concrete lorries need navigating narrow roads near Carshalton Ponds. Years of working between Wallington's railway bridges and Hackbridge's tight corners means minimal disruption to neighbours.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most Carshalton driveways range £2,800-£4,500 depending on excavation depth and access. Larger plots near Oaks Park often reach £6,000 with decorative finishes.
Absolutely - from The Wrythe to Beddington Park, plus neighbouring Sutton and Wallington. SM5 postcodes remain our core focus with same-day site visits available.
Light foot traffic after 48 hours, but vehicles need 7-10 days for proper curing. Weather dependent - autumn installations may require extra days.
Each installation carries decade-long coverage against structural defects. This includes settlement issues and surface deterioration, documented with photographic evidence of reinforcement placement.
Period properties often have shallow pipes we carefully map before excavation. Modern permeable concrete options help satisfy planning requirements while preserving original drainage routes beneath.
