If you need a strong, level base for a shed, garden room, bin store or patio, our concrete slabs honour oak area service delivers a tidy, long-wearing surface. We regularly work around Honor Oak Park station and up towards One Tree Hill, where access and levels can vary from plot to plot. From small garden pads to larger hardstanding, we pour to spec and finish to suit how you’ll use the space. Expect straight edges, smart falls and a surface that’s easy to maintain.
Honor Oak’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with narrow side returns, stepped gardens and shared boundaries. We plan pours to minimise disruption, protect neighbouring walls and fences, and keep routes clear for materials and barrows. Whether you’re in SE23 near Forest Hill or closer to Brockley, we tailor thickness, reinforcement and finish to the load and layout. The result is a slab that feels solid underfoot and performs year after year.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and clear recommendations on depth, sub-base and drainage. Your slab is formed, reinforced where needed, poured and finished (brushed, power float, exposed aggregate or coloured), then cured correctly to reduce cracking. Expansion joints are placed where they matter, and we leave the site clean and safe. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a written warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, many Honor Oak gardens are sloped and access can be tight, especially near Nunhead and Peckham Rye borders. We plan deliveries, parking and barrow routes in advance and use formwork that suits confined spaces. Ground conditions and existing made-up areas vary, so we assess sub-base requirements carefully before pouring. Where surface water is a concern, we build in practical drainage details from the start.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m² for straightforward garden bases. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate or power-float finishes typically sit closer to £120–£190 per m². Extra factors include excavation and spoil removal, reinforced mesh, drainage channels and tricky access in SE23 side returns.
Most small bases take 1 day to prepare and pour, with larger slabs commonly taking 2–3 days including excavation, sub-base and formwork. Curing time matters: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads should wait longer. Timescales change with weather, access near Honor Oak Park station, thickness, reinforcement, and whether drainage or multiple levels are required.
Many garden slabs and hardstanding areas are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage, or working near boundaries. If the slab forms part of a driveway, managing surface water correctly is important. We’ll advise on practical compliance, including permeable solutions or drainage where needed, and we can help you check any relevant Lewisham guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our concrete slab installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, or jointing defects that lead to premature failure. Concrete can develop hairline shrinkage cracks as it cures; we reduce this risk with correct thickness, reinforcement, curing and expansion joints. If any covered issue arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
We offer plain concrete for practical bases, coloured concrete for a warmer look, and exposed aggregate for a textured, decorative finish. For surface feel, many homeowners choose a brushed finish for grip or a power-float finish for a smoother, denser surface. We also specify reinforcement, drainage falls and expansion joints to suit the site. We’ll recommend the best combination based on use, budget and the style of your home.
