If you need a reliable base for a patio, garden room or bin store, our team installs concrete slabs designed for everyday use and British weather. We work across W4, including around Chiswick High Road and near Chiswick House, keeping sites tidy and access clear. From small side-return pads to larger hardstanding areas, we pour to levels that suit your thresholds and garden layout. Every slab is finished to match how you want it to look and feel underfoot.
Chiswick’s Georgian houses, Victorian villas and Edwardian family homes often come with narrow side access, mature planting and heritage details worth protecting. We regularly install concrete slabs for rear gardens, side passages and outbuildings, where accurate falls and neat edges matter. For properties near the river or close to Gunnersbury and Kew borders, we factor in damp ground and existing drainage runs. If you’re upgrading a tired patio base or preparing for new paving, we’ll set it up properly first time.
We start with a site visit to check levels, ground make-up and where water currently goes, then propose a specification that suits the load and finish. Sub-base preparation, reinforcement, power floating, brushed finish or exposed aggregate are all planned in, along with expansion joints to reduce cracking. You’ll get clear timeframes, straightforward communication and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for consistent finishing, clean edges and slabs that stay stable season after season.
Access in Chiswick can be tight, especially with side alleys and on-street parking controls, so we plan deliveries and barrowing routes carefully. In the London Borough of Hounslow we also consider surface-water rules, ensuring run-off is managed with correct falls and drainage where needed. Ground conditions vary from made-up garden ground to heavier clay, so we adjust sub-base depth and reinforcement accordingly. For homes near Fuller's Brewery or along busier roads, we schedule pours to minimise disruption.

Costs depend on size, access, excavation and the finish you choose. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured or exposed aggregate finishes are typically £130–£220 per m². Reinforcement, thicker pours for heavier loads, drainage channels and edging can add to the total. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after checking levels and ground conditions on site.
Most domestic concrete slab projects take 1–3 days on site for excavation, sub-base, formwork and pouring, with larger areas taking longer. Finishes like power float or exposed aggregate can add time on the day of the pour. Curing is important: light foot traffic is usually possible after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads may need 7–28 days depending on thickness and weather. Access and spoil removal also affect timescales.
In many cases, concrete slabs for patios and garden bases are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. Rules can change if you’re creating a new driveway, altering levels significantly, or directing surface water to the public highway or drains. Conservation considerations may apply for certain streets and listed buildings. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and can help you plan drainage so the installation complies with local guidance.
Yes. Our concrete slab workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty. This covers issues linked to installation, such as poor compaction, incorrect levels, inadequate joints or reinforcement where specified, and defects that lead to premature movement or failure. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or problems caused by third-party work after completion. We also provide care guidance to help you protect the finish during curing and beyond.
We install plain concrete for a clean, practical base, as well as coloured concrete for a warmer look that suits patios and pathways. For a more decorative surface, exposed aggregate adds texture and slip resistance, while a brushed finish gives subtle grip. Power floating creates a smooth, modern finish where appropriate. We’ll recommend reinforcement, joint layout and drainage details based on your use, then help you choose a finish that complements your home and garden.
