If you need a reliable base for a patio, path, bin store or driveway, our team installs high-performance concrete that stays level and drains correctly. We work across CR0, including routes around Addiscombe tram stop and towards East Croydon. Every slab is set out to suit your access, falls and finished levels, so doors open cleanly and water doesn’t pool. Expect a neat, durable surface that’s ready for everyday use.
Addiscombe’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with narrow side access, stepped thresholds and older garden boundaries. We plan pours and deliveries to minimise disruption, and we’re used to working around existing paving, bay windows and front garden walls. Whether you’re upgrading a rear patio near Ashburton Park or creating a solid base for an outbuilding, we tailor the build-up to the site. Homeowners looking for concrete slabs Addiscombe area value our clean finish and careful detailing.
We start with a site survey, check ground conditions, then excavate to the right depth for a stable sub-base. Your slab is formed with shuttering, reinforced where required, and finished as brushed, power-floated, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete. We include drainage considerations and expansion joints to reduce cracking and movement. Fine Landscaping backs workmanship with clear communication, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty.
Across the concrete slabs in London Borough of Croydon, ground can vary from firm subsoil to made-up garden areas, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. Addiscombe streets often have limited parking and tight access, so we plan deliveries, barrowing routes and pour timing to keep things smooth. We also consider runoff rules and practical drainage solutions for front gardens and driveways. The result is a slab that fits the property style and performs year-round.

Costs vary with thickness, access, excavation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs for patios and bases often start around £90–£140 per m², while reinforced or thicker slabs for driveways are commonly £140–£220 per m². Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, extra drainage or complex levels can increase this. We’ll survey your site in CR0 and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Most small bases (for sheds or bins) take 1 day, while a typical patio slab area is usually 2–3 days including excavation and sub-base. Driveway slabs or larger pours can take 3–5 days depending on access and drainage work. Curing time matters too: light foot traffic is often fine after 24–48 hours, but vehicles usually need 7 days or more, weather depending.
In many cases, concrete slabs for rear gardens and patios are permitted development. For front gardens and driveways, rules often focus on surface water: if the area is over 5m², you typically need a permeable solution or drainage to a soakaway rather than the highway. We’ll advise on drainage options, check any constraints, and help you stay compliant with London Borough of Croydon requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete slab installations, covering issues such as poor levels, inadequate base preparation, and defects arising from installation errors. Concrete can develop hairline shrinkage cracks as it cures, which are normal, but we reduce risk with correct reinforcement, joints and curing practices. We’ll also explain aftercare and loading times to protect the finish.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, practical look, coloured concrete to complement brickwork, or exposed aggregate for a more decorative, grippy finish. We also offer brushed finishes for slip resistance and power-floated finishes for a smoother, modern surface. Reinforcement, edging detail, drainage channels and expansion joint layout are selected to match how you’ll use the space. We’ll bring samples and recommend the best option for your property.
