From garden seating areas to shed and studio bases, our slabs are poured to suit Notting Hill’s busy streets and compact plots. We regularly work around W11, including routes near Notting Hill Gate and Portobello Road Market where access and timing matter. Every pour is set out accurately, levelled properly and finished to match how you’ll use the space. The result is a clean, durable surface that looks right alongside brickwork, stone steps and planted borders.
Notting Hill homes often include pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses with tight side returns and shared access. We plan concrete deliveries and barrow routes carefully, protecting thresholds and existing paving. For courtyards in Ladbroke Grove or properties edging Holland Park, we can specify reinforcement and drainage details to cope with heavier footfall and occasional vehicle loads. Our team is used to working quietly and tidily in close-knit residential streets.
We start with a site visit to confirm levels, falls and the right sub-base build-up, then provide a clear written scope. Groundworks include excavation, compacted hardcore, edging where required, and reinforcement before the concrete is poured and finished. We install expansion joints to reduce cracking and form falls to drains or soakaways where needed. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward communication and a 10-year warranty on installation.
The concrete slabs Notting Hill area often need careful level control due to basements, lightwells and stepped gardens. Parking and delivery windows around W11 can be restricted, so we plan mixes, pumps and barrow runs to minimise disruption. We also account for drainage expectations and surface water management commonly enforced in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Where access is tight in Bayswater or Kensington, we phase the work to keep entrances usable.

Costs vary with thickness, access, excavation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m² for straightforward garden areas. Coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, extra reinforcement, pumping, or complex drainage can move this to roughly £140–£220+ per m². Small jobs can have higher per‑m² rates due to mobilisation and minimum load charges. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most domestic slab projects take 1–3 days on site, depending on excavation, sub-base depth and access. The pour and finish is usually completed in a day, but preparation can take longer where levels need correcting or drainage is added. You can typically walk on the slab after 24–48 hours, with heavier loads avoided for about 7 days. Full curing continues for several weeks, improving strength over time.
In many cases, concrete slabs for patios, paths and garden bases are permitted development. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working within a conservation area common in parts of W11. Driveway-style hardstanding at the front may need permeable drainage solutions. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement due to inadequate sub-base preparation, poor finishing, or jointing defects. The warranty is valid when the slab is used as specified and not overloaded beyond design assumptions. We also document the build-up, reinforcement and drainage details so you know what’s beneath the surface. If a problem arises, we respond promptly and put it right.
We offer plain concrete for clean, modern utility areas, coloured concrete for a warmer tone, and exposed aggregate for a decorative, slip-resistant finish. For texture and safety, a brushed finish is popular; for a smoother look, power floating can be used where appropriate. We can include reinforcement mesh, formed edges, steps, and discreet expansion joints. We’ll recommend options based on how you’ll use the space, surrounding materials and maintenance preferences.
