If you need a reliable base for a shed, garden office, patio or bin store, our team installs concrete slabs that stay level and drain properly. We regularly work near Hither Green station and around Mountsfield Park, where gardens often need practical, low-maintenance hardstanding. Every pour is set out carefully, with falls planned to move water away from the house. The result is a crisp, usable surface that suits busy SE13 homes.
Hither Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often come with narrow side access and established boundaries that demand accurate groundworks. We’re used to protecting paving, brickwork and planting while excavating and preparing sub-bases. For households in Lee, Lewisham and Grove Park, we tailor slab thickness and reinforcement to the intended use—foot traffic, hot tubs, or vehicle loading. That local experience helps avoid cracking, rocking edges and water pooling.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and clear specification for finish and drainage. We excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add steel reinforcement where required, then pour and finish—brushed, power-floated, or exposed aggregate. Expansion joints are placed to control movement, and we keep edges sharp with proper formwork. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, and we back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Ground conditions in the concrete slabs Hither Green area can vary between made ground and heavier clay, so we adjust sub-base depth and compaction accordingly. Parking and access around SE13 streets can be tight, so we plan deliveries and concrete pours to minimise disruption. For properties near Manor Park and Hither Green Cemetery, we often work with older garden levels and drainage routes, ensuring water runs away from walls. Our approach fits the practical needs of concrete slabs in London Borough of Lewisham homes.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs depend on slab thickness, access, excavation depth and the finish you choose. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is commonly £130–£200+ per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, removal of spoil and edging/formwork can add to the total. We’ll survey levels and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most domestic slabs take 1–3 days for excavation, sub-base preparation and the pour, depending on size and access. Larger areas, deeper dig-outs or added drainage and reinforcement can extend this to 4–6 days. Curing time matters too: light foot traffic is usually fine after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads should wait around 7 days, with full strength reached at 28 days.
In many cases, garden slabs and bases are permitted development, especially when they don’t raise ground levels significantly or affect drainage to the public highway. Driveway-related work can have extra rules, particularly around permeable surfaces and managing runoff. We’ll advise on best practice for falls and drainage, and we can help you check Lewisham requirements if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or near protected trees.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our concrete slab installations. This covers issues linked to our installation, such as significant settlement from inadequate sub-base preparation, poor finishing, or jointing defects. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or movement caused by external factors like leaking drains or tree root heave. We also give aftercare guidance on curing, sealing (if chosen) and load timing.
We install plain concrete for practical bases, coloured concrete for a warmer look, and exposed aggregate for extra texture and grip. Finish options include brushed for slip resistance and power float for a smoother, easy-clean surface. We can add reinforcement for strength, plan drainage falls, and include expansion joints to manage movement. During the survey we’ll recommend the best combination based on use, garden style and maintenance preferences.
