Whether you’re creating a new patio, a garden room base or a level walkway, our concrete slabs are designed to look sharp and perform for decades. We work across SW3 and SW10, including projects near King’s Road and the Saatchi Gallery. Every pour is planned around access, levels and water run-off so surfaces stay safe and usable year-round. Expect clean edges, tidy joints and finishes that suit high-end outdoor spaces.
Chelsea’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments often calls for careful logistics and immaculate detailing. We regularly build slabs for rear courtyards, roof-terrace upgrades and compact gardens where space is tight and neighbours are close. Many clients want a refined, low-maintenance surface that complements stone steps, brickwork and heritage features. If you’re in South Kensington, Knightsbridge or Pimlico, we’ll match the slab design to your property’s character and practical needs.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and the best build-up for long-term stability. Your slab is formed with proper sub-base preparation, reinforcement where required, and expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. We keep you informed on curing times, access arrangements and any temporary protection needed for pathways. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, clear scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can mean narrow side returns, controlled parking and timed deliveries. We plan mixes, barrowing routes and pour sizes to suit tight entrances and shared passages. Ground conditions and existing Victorian garden walls can require careful excavation and vibration control. We also build falls and drainage details to suit hardscaped courtyards common around Fulham and South Kensington.

For concrete slabs in the Chelsea area, typical supply-and-install prices often range from £120–£220 per m², depending on thickness, access and finish. Plain concrete is usually the most economical, while coloured concrete, exposed aggregate and power-floated finishes sit higher. Reinforcement, drainage channels, removal of old surfaces and skip permits can add to costs. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most domestic slabs take 1–3 days to prepare and pour, with additional time for excavation and sub-base work if the ground needs rebuilding. Curing is crucial: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads and paving overlays may need 7–28 days depending on weather and mix. Access constraints in SW3/SW10 and pump requirements can also affect scheduling.
In many cases, garden slabs and patio bases are permitted development, especially at the rear of a property. However, rules can change if you’re altering front gardens, affecting drainage to the highway, working in a conservation area, or dealing with listed buildings. We’ll advise on permeable drainage solutions and check whether any permissions, party wall considerations or council requirements apply before work begins.
Yes. Our concrete slab installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, or defects linked to installation methods. It also includes problems arising from inadequate reinforcement or jointing where these were specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, and movement from unrelated structural issues aren’t covered. We’ll explain care, curing and loading guidance to protect your new slab.
We offer plain concrete for practical bases, coloured concrete for a cleaner architectural look, and exposed aggregate for a textured, slip-resistant surface. Popular finishes include brushed finish for grip and power float for a smooth contemporary feel. We can add reinforcement mesh, install drainage channels, and place expansion joints to suit the slab size and layout. We’ll recommend options based on use, style, and maintenance preferences.
