If you need a tough, tidy surface that stays level year after year, our concrete slab installations are a smart choice for SE12 homes. We regularly work around the Lee Green crossroads and near Leegate Shopping Centre, where access and parking can affect pour planning. From garden seating areas to bin-store pads and side-return paths, we create slabs that look neat and perform in all weather. Every job includes the details that prevent future issues: drainage falls, expansion joints and a finish that suits how you’ll use the space.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with narrow side access, stepped gardens and older outbuildings that need solid bases. We tailor slab thickness, reinforcement and edging to suit each property type, whether you’re upgrading a patio behind a terrace or creating a level base for a garden room. Homeowners across Blackheath and Hither Green also ask us to match new concrete to existing paving lines and thresholds. The result is a surface that sits correctly against walls, air bricks and drainage points.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and confirm where water should run—then we handle excavation, sub-base compaction and formwork. Your slab is poured with the right mix, reinforced where needed, and finished to spec (brushed, exposed aggregate or power float) with clean, well-placed expansion joints. We keep the site organised, protect surrounding areas, and provide clear aftercare guidance for curing. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because our workmanship is consistent, our timelines are realistic, and we stand behind the result.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often find variable ground made up of mixed fill from older landscaping and extensions, so we pay close attention to excavation depth and sub-base compaction. In the concrete slabs lee green area, access can be tight around side passages and shared drives, so we plan deliveries and barrowing routes to minimise disruption. We also set levels carefully to protect air bricks and existing drainage runs common on period and 1930s homes. If council guidance affects drainage to the highway, we’ll recommend compliant falls and soakaway options.

Costs vary with size, access, excavation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs typically start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete, exposed aggregate or power-floated finishes often fall in the £120–£190 per m² range. Reinforcement, thicker pours for driveways, drainage channels and removal of old concrete can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in SE12.
Most small to mid-sized slabs take 1–3 days for groundworks, formwork and pouring, depending on access and spoil removal. Larger areas or driveway-grade slabs may take 3–5 days, especially if drainage or retaining edges are needed. Concrete then needs curing time before heavy use—often 48–72 hours for light foot traffic and around 7 days before heavier loads. Weather, levels and reinforcement requirements can affect timings.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development and won’t need planning permission. Driveway works can be different if you’re creating a new hard surface at the front and water would run onto the highway, so drainage compliance is important. Some properties may have restrictions, especially near conservation areas or where previous conditions apply. We’ll talk you through the rules, check drainage requirements, and recommend solutions that meet local guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our concrete slab installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship-related issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor levels, or defective jointing. It also covers problems linked to incorrect reinforcement or drainage falls where these were part of the agreed specification. Normal wear, accidental damage, misuse, and hairline surface crazing from curing are not typically covered. We also provide aftercare advice to help your slab cure properly and last.
We offer plain concrete for clean, practical bases, plus coloured concrete for a warmer look. For extra texture and grip, many homeowners choose a brushed finish; for a smoother contemporary appearance, power float is popular. Exposed aggregate is ideal if you want a decorative, slip-resistant surface with visible stone. We’ll advise on slab thickness, reinforcement, drainage falls and expansion joints, then help you choose a finish that suits your home and how you’ll use the space in concrete slabs in London Borough of Lewisham.
