Those charming Victorian terraces throughout Dulwich deserve foundations as solid as their history. Whether you're extending that narrow side return or creating a contemporary garden studio base, precision-poured concrete transforms ambitious plans into lasting reality.

Dulwich's eclectic mix of period properties and sleek new builds presents unique groundwork challenges. From navigating tight access between semi-detached houses to working with the area's varied clay soils, successful concrete installation demands local knowledge. Having completed hundreds of slabs across SE21, SE22 and SE24, understanding each street's quirks has become second nature.
Modern concrete technology has revolutionised what's achievable in residential settings. Fibre-reinforced mixes eliminate traditional mesh requirements whilst maintaining structural integrity. Precise laser levelling ensures perfect drainage away from those precious Victorian foundations. Power floating creates surfaces smooth enough for resin finishes yet textured sufficiently for safety during London's inevitable rain.
Long-standing relationships with Dulwich homeowners mean recommendations travel faster than planning applications here. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a compact Herne Hill patio or expansive East Dulwich driveway.

Standard residential slabs generally range £65-£85 per square metre, though narrow access common in West Dulwich terraces may add 10-15%. Larger areas over 50m² often benefit from economies of scale, bringing costs closer to £60/m².
Absolutely - from the leafy streets around Dulwich Village through to the bustling shops of Lordship Lane. Regular projects span all SE21, SE22 and SE24 postcodes, including neighbouring Herne Hill and both East and West Dulwich.
Smaller patios typically finish within 2-3 days including excavation and curing time. Driveways or larger bases might extend to 4-5 days, weather permitting. Initial site assessment provides accurate scheduling.
Each slab carries decade-long protection against structural defects. This covers cracking, settlement and surface deterioration - basically everything except deliberate damage. Full documentation provided upon completion.
Victorian properties often feature original drainage runs that need careful consideration. Modern permeable concrete options or strategic channelling maintains water flow whilst providing solid surfaces. Site surveys identify optimal solutions before work begins.
