If you need a durable base for a patio, shed, bin store or driveway apron, our concrete slabs deliver a crisp, level surface that copes with year-round use. We work across SE19, including routes near Norwood Grove Park and Beaulieu Heights. Every slab is set out to suit your garden levels, access and water run-off. The result is practical hard landscaping that looks smart and stays stable.
Norwood Grove’s quiet residential streets include Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions, often with narrow side access and stepped gardens. We’re used to protecting original brickwork, thresholds and garden walls while creating neat falls away from the home. For homes around Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace, we can match finishes to existing paving and front garden layouts. If you’re upgrading a tired path or creating a new seating area, we’ll recommend the right specification for your property.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear measurements and a written specification, then careful excavation and a compacted sub-base. We install reinforcement where needed, formwork for straight edges, and expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. Drainage is planned from the outset, with falls and channels where appropriate. Homeowners choose us for tidy working practices, reliable scheduling and a finish that’s built to last.
As a team working in the London Borough of Croydon, we plan for mixed ground conditions and gardens with changing levels. Parking and access can be tight around Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, so we schedule deliveries and remove spoil efficiently. We also consider surface water run-off and practical falls, especially on sloping plots common in SE19. If needed, we’ll advise on drainage solutions that fit your layout and local requirements.

Costs vary with thickness, access, excavation depth and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m² installed. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, or power-float finishes typically range from £130–£220 per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, and waste removal can add to the total. We’ll survey your site in the concrete slabs Norwood Grove area and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most small patios or bases take 1–3 days for excavation, sub-base, formwork and pouring. Larger areas, complex drainage, or stepped gardens can take 3–7 days. Curing time matters too: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but heavier loads may need 7+ days depending on weather and mix. We’ll confirm timescales after measuring and checking access in Norwood Grove.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. Driveway-related work can be different if you’re creating a non-permeable surface at the front and water would run to the highway, which may require permeable solutions or drainage. We’ll advise on falls, channels and soakaway options and check any relevant guidance for concrete slabs in London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installations, covering workmanship issues such as poor levels, inadequate sub-base preparation, and installation defects that lead to premature movement or cracking beyond normal hairline curing marks. The warranty is valid when the area is used as intended and not overloaded beyond specification. We also document the build-up (sub-base, reinforcement and joints) so you know exactly what’s been installed.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, cost-effective base, or upgrade to coloured concrete for a warmer tone. Exposed aggregate is popular for grip and visual texture, while brushed finishes suit paths and utility areas. For a sleek look, a power-float finish gives a smoother surface, and we can add reinforcement and well-placed expansion joints for durability. We’ll recommend the best option based on use, drainage needs and your home’s style.
