Those narrow Victorian terraces around Clapham Common deserve outdoor spaces that work as hard as their owners do. A properly installed concrete slab transforms awkward gardens into usable havens, whether you're creating a bike store or extending that precious patio space.

South London clay presents unique challenges when laying concrete foundations. Years of working across Clapham's varied terrain - from the flat expanses near the Common to sloping gardens backing onto the Northern Line - has taught us exactly how deep to dig and which reinforcement methods prevent future movement. Every project starts with understanding your specific ground conditions.
Concrete slab installation requires precision at each stage. First comes excavation to the correct depth, accounting for both the slab thickness and sub-base requirements. Sharp sand and MOT Type 1 create the foundation layers, compacted in stages. Steel mesh reinforcement sits within the concrete pour itself, preventing cracks as ground temperatures fluctuate through London's unpredictable seasons.
Local knowledge matters when your neighbour's extension is three feet away. Our teams understand Clapham's mix of conservation areas and permitted development rights, ensuring your new hardstanding meets both practical needs and planning requirements.

Garden shed bases start around £800-1,200, while a single parking space typically runs £2,500-3,500. Larger patio areas or double driveways range from £4,000-8,000, depending on access difficulties and existing ground levels.
Absolutely - from Abbeville Village in SW4 right through to the Northcote Road end of SW11. Regular projects in Stockwell and across to Battersea mean we're never far from your property.
Shed bases typically complete within two days. Driveways need 4-5 days including excavation and curing time. Weather permitting, most domestic slabs pour on day three.
Each installation carries decade-long protection against structural failure. This covers cracking, subsidence and surface deterioration - documentation provided on completion for your property records.
Channel drains, soakaways and permeable surfaces all integrate seamlessly during the pour. Particularly important for front gardens where surface water regulations apply - we'll calculate the required drainage capacity based on your property's hard surface area.
