If you need a durable patio, shed base or level walkway, our concrete slab installations are designed to look smart and perform for decades. We work across SW5, including near Earl's Court tube station and the Earl's Court Exhibition Centre site. From compact courtyard gardens to communal access routes, we pour slabs with the right falls for reliable drainage. Finishes range from brushed for grip to power-floated for a sleek, modern look.
Earl's Court has a mix of Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, where access can be tight and neighbours close. We plan deliveries, barrowing routes and pour sequences to minimise disruption in buildings around Philbeach Gardens and nearby streets. For older properties, we often specify reinforced slabs to cope with heavier loads and variable sub-bases. Where aesthetics matter, coloured concrete and exposed aggregate can complement Victorian brickwork and stone detailing.
We start with a site survey, levels check and sub-base design, then set out shuttering and expansion joints before pouring. Every slab is finished to suit its use: brushed for safer foot traffic, power float for garages and utility zones, or exposed aggregate for decorative patios. We keep edges crisp, falls consistent and drainage considered from day one. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means factoring in controlled parking, timed deliveries and narrow access points common around mansion blocks. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases, so we assess and build up properly before pouring. We also adapt our mix and reinforcement to suit basement lightwells, retaining walls and shared pathways. If access is restricted, we can plan smaller pours and efficient placement to keep the site safe and orderly.

Costs vary by thickness, access and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs typically start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is often £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, drainage details, waste removal and difficult access (common in SW5 mansion conversions) can increase the price. We provide a detailed written quote after checking levels, sub-base requirements and the intended use.
Most small patio or base installations take 1–3 days on site, plus curing time before heavy use. Preparation is often the longest stage: excavation, sub-base compaction, shuttering, reinforcement and setting falls for drainage. Weather, access constraints, and whether you choose exposed aggregate or power float finishing can affect timings. We’ll confirm a clear schedule and advise when it’s safe to walk on and load the slab.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, but rules can change for front gardens, listed buildings and properties within conservation areas. Drainage is a key point: surfaces should not direct water onto the public highway, and permeable solutions or suitable drainage may be required. We’ll flag any likely constraints, check the site context, and help you follow local guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as poor finishing, incorrect falls leading to pooling, and defects caused by inadequate preparation or reinforcement. It also covers problems linked to incorrectly formed expansion joints where these are specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, and movement caused by external factors (for example, leaking drains or tree roots) are not included. You’ll receive care guidance to help the slab cure and perform properly.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, cost-effective base, coloured concrete for a warmer tone, or exposed aggregate for a decorative, slip-resistant patio. Finish options include brushed for grip, power float for a smooth contemporary look, and tailored edging details for crisp lines. We also specify reinforcement, drainage channels where needed, and correctly placed expansion joints. We’ll recommend the best combination based on use, light levels and the style of your property.
