Canary Wharf’s outdoor spaces often need a hard-wearing, level surface that suits contemporary architecture and tight access. We install concrete slabs for patios, bin stores, garden rooms and equipment bases across E14, including around One Canada Square and Jubilee Park. From brushed anti-slip finishes to power-floated smooth slabs, we tailor the spec to how you use the area. Every pour is set out for clean lines and long-term performance.
Most projects here involve modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with balconies, terraces and communal podium gardens. Our concrete slabs canary wharf area service is designed for these settings—quiet working practices, controlled deliveries and tidy site management. We also work in nearby Isle of Dogs, Poplar and Limehouse where courtyards and side-access routes can be narrow. The result is a premium finish that complements glass, steel and contemporary paving.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, falls and access, then specify thickness, reinforcement and joint layout. Sub-base preparation, drainage planning and expansion joints are handled as standard to reduce cracking and standing water. You’ll get clear scheduling, protection for surrounding surfaces, and a thorough clean-down on completion. Homeowners trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets often means managed buildings, timed loading bays and restricted parking. We plan deliveries, barrow routes and waste removal to suit concierge rules and local controls near Crossrail Place and the docks. Ground conditions can vary with made ground and services, so we assess the sub-base and specify reinforcement accordingly. Our method keeps disruption low while delivering accurate levels and a premium finish.

Costs vary with access, slab thickness and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs typically start around £120–£180 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is often £160–£240 per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, complex formwork, and waste removal can increase the budget. Tight E14 access, lift bookings or timed deliveries may also affect labour time. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small to medium slabs take 1–3 days for excavation, sub-base and pouring, with additional time for curing. You can usually walk on it after 24–48 hours, but heavy loads and furniture should wait around 7 days (longer in cold weather). Larger terraces, reinforced bases or multiple pours can take 4–7 days. Access restrictions, noise windows and drying conditions are the main factors that change timelines.
In many cases, a garden patio or slab base is permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working in a listed setting, or changing front garden surfacing where drainage to a permeable area is needed. Apartment blocks may also have freeholder or management-company requirements. We’ll flag likely constraints, advise on drainage compliance, and help you check any Tower Hamlets conditions before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installations, covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, or defects linked to installation methods. The warranty assumes normal use and that the slab isn’t overloaded beyond the agreed design. We also document the build-up (sub-base, reinforcement, joints and drainage) so you know what’s beneath the finish. If a problem arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, minimal look, or coloured concrete to match contemporary schemes. Exposed aggregate adds texture and grip, while a brushed finish improves slip resistance for terraces. For a sleek surface, we can power float (best for sheltered areas). We also design in reinforcement, drainage falls and expansion joints to suit the space. We’ll recommend the right option based on use, sunlight, and how the slab meets paving or decking.
