Kensington properties often include stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different constraints. In W8 and W14, we’re used to narrow passages, basement lightwells and shared entrances that require careful planning. We design concrete slabs to complement elegant façades and courtyard layouts, keeping levels consistent with thresholds and steps. If you’re upgrading a tired patio or creating a new utility area, we tailor the build to your building style.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, confirm loading needs, and agree the finish—brushed, power-floated or exposed aggregate. Sub-base preparation, reinforcement, expansion joints and drainage are specified up front, then installed with clean workmanship and clear communication. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site tidy, and provide aftercare guidance for curing and sealing.

Costs for concrete slabs in Kensington typically range from £120–£220 per m², depending on thickness, reinforcement, access, and the chosen finish. Plain concrete is usually the most economical, while coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, and power float finishes can increase labour and material costs. Groundworks, waste removal, drainage details and edging also affect pricing. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most small patios or bases take 1–3 days for excavation, sub-base, formwork and the pour, with larger areas taking 3–7 days. The finish you choose (brushed, exposed aggregate, or power float) can add time on the day of pouring. Weather, access in W8/W14, and any drainage alterations also influence the programme. Concrete needs curing time before heavy use, typically several days.
In many cases, garden hardstanding and patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can apply if you’re altering front gardens, changing levels significantly, or affecting drainage to the public highway. Listed buildings and conservation areas are common in the borough, which can add constraints. We’ll advise what’s likely needed and can help you check requirements before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installations, covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls leading to persistent pooling, and failures related to our reinforcement and jointing specification. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate aftercare, including avoiding de-icing salts during early curing where advised. We also document the build-up and materials used for peace of mind.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, modern look, coloured concrete to match brickwork or railings, exposed aggregate for texture and slip resistance, or a brushed finish for practical grip. For a refined surface, a power float finish is popular in courtyards and utility areas. We’ll help you select thickness, reinforcement, edging and joint layout, so your concrete slabs in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea suit the property and usage.
