Living in DA1 means dealing with everything from heavy lorries on residential roads to subsidence from old chalk pits. Your concrete slab needs more than just pouring and smoothing. Local knowledge of ground conditions between Crayford and Greenhithe helps us prepare foundations that won't crack when the weather turns.
Steel reinforcement mesh goes down first, positioned precisely to handle vehicle weight. Next comes the concrete mix, adjusted for Dartford's freeze-thaw cycles. Proper expansion joints prevent those unsightly cracks that plague so many local driveways. Finally, the surface gets finished to your preference - brushed for grip or smooth for easy cleaning.
Twenty years laying slabs around Bexley taught us which suppliers deliver quality aggregate. Our mixer drivers know every tight corner from Temple Hill to Princes Road.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most two-car driveways in DA1 run between £2,800-£4,200, depending on access and existing ground conditions. Narrow Victorian plots sometimes need smaller equipment, which affects pricing.
Absolutely - from the new builds near Bluewater through to established areas around Crayford station. DA1 postcodes remain our core territory where we've built our reputation.
Ground preparation typically takes 1-2 days, with pouring completed in a single day. Allow 48 hours before foot traffic and a full week for vehicles.
Every slab carries decade-long coverage against structural defects. This includes settlement issues and surface deterioration, documented with photos and depth measurements.
Electric vehicles actually distribute weight more evenly than traditional cars. Our standard 150mm reinforced slabs easily support EVs, though we recommend 200mm for commercial vehicles or mobile homes.
