Navigating the chalk slopes around Farthing Downs requires groundwork expertise that understands local terrain. Years of working with CR5's varied elevations mean every slab installation accounts for proper drainage and ground movement. Properties from Old Coulsdon's period homes to newer developments near Coulsdon South station each present unique foundation challenges.
Ground preparation determines longevity—particularly important given Coulsdon's mix of clay and chalk substrates. Reinforced mesh strengthens larger spans whilst expansion joints prevent cracking as seasons change. Modern finishing techniques create surfaces that resist pooling water, crucial for properties backing onto the Downs where runoff can be significant.
Local knowledge matters when excavation depths vary street by street. Understanding which areas need deeper foundations saves unexpected costs and ensures decade-long performance.
