If you need a clean, tough surface for a patio, side return or bin store, our concrete slabs deliver a neat, low-maintenance result. We regularly work near Eastfields station and around Figges Marsh, where access and levels can vary from street to street. From small garden walkways to larger hardstanding areas, we pour, finish and detail the slab to suit how you use the space. Expect crisp edges, sensible falls and a finish that suits your home.
Eastfields has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, and each type needs a slightly different approach. Period terraces often benefit from careful level management and tidy transitions to existing brickwork. 1930s semis commonly need stronger edges and thresholds for side access and garden storage. For modern plots, we focus on clean lines, drainage compliance and a consistent finish across larger open areas.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear specification: thickness, reinforcement, finish, falls and joint layout. Groundworks are prepared properly, with compacted sub-base, reinforcement where required, and drainage designed to move water away from buildings. Every slab includes considered expansion joints to reduce cracking risk and improve longevity. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a clear handover once the concrete has cured.
Working in the London Borough of Merton, we plan pours around local access, parking limits and narrow side passages common in SW16 and CR4. Ground conditions can vary, so we adjust sub-base depth, compaction and reinforcement to suit. We also set falls to manage surface water responsibly, especially on sloping gardens near Mitcham and Streatham Vale. Where council guidance affects drainage, we design the slab layout to stay compliant.

Costs for concrete slabs in the Eastfields area typically range from about £90–£160 per m² for plain concrete, depending on thickness and ground preparation. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate and power-float finishes often sit around £120–£220 per m². Edging details, reinforcement, drainage channels, skips and access constraints can move the price up or down. We’ll confirm a range after a site visit and measurements.
Most domestic jobs take 1–3 days for excavation, sub-base and shuttering, with the pour and finishing usually completed in a single day. Larger areas, complex levels or added drainage can extend this to 4–6 days. Weather also affects scheduling and curing. You can normally walk on the slab after 24–48 hours, but we recommend allowing around 7 days before heavier use, and longer for vehicles.
In many cases, garden slabs and patio areas are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working near boundaries in a way that impacts neighbours. Driveway-related works may need extra care to ensure water drains to a permeable area. We’ll advise on the likely requirements and help you stay compliant in Merton.
Yes. Our concrete slab installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as poor compaction, inadequate reinforcement where specified, or incorrect jointing that leads to premature failure. Concrete is a durable material, but movement and weather can still cause hairline cracking over time; we minimise this with proper preparation, reinforcement and expansion joints. We’ll also provide aftercare guidance for curing and sealing if needed.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, practical finish, or upgrade to coloured concrete for a warmer tone that suits brickwork. Exposed aggregate is popular for slip resistance and a more decorative look, while brushed finish offers grip for paths. For a sleek contemporary surface, power float creates a smoother finish (best for low-slip-risk areas). We’ll recommend thickness, reinforcement and joint layout based on how you’ll use the space.
