From W2 gardens near Paddington station to terraces by Little Venice, a well-laid slab makes outdoor space easier to use year-round. Our concrete slabs suit patios, bin stores, side returns and level access routes, with finishes that complement both traditional and modern homes. We can match the look you want—subtle and smooth or textured for grip. Every install is set out carefully for straight edges and consistent falls.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and newer apartments often means compact courtyards, shared access and tight boundaries. We regularly work around basement lightwells, raised thresholds and existing paving that needs tying in neatly. For properties around Bayswater and Marylebone, we design slabs that look refined while staying practical for everyday use. Where parking and loading are limited, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low.
We start with a site visit to check levels, drainage routes and sub-base requirements, then provide a clear written specification. Our builds include proper ground preparation, reinforced concrete where needed, and expansion joints to reduce cracking risk. We keep you updated on each stage—excavation, formwork, pour and finishing—so you know what’s happening and when. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that stays sharp.
In the concrete slabs Paddington area, access can be restricted by controlled parking zones and narrow mews entrances, so we schedule deliveries and mixing accordingly. Ground conditions vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases in older courtyards, so we test and build up the right foundation rather than guessing. We also design drainage with local runoff rules in mind, particularly for hardstanding near Hyde Park approaches. If you’re considering concrete slabs in City of Westminster, we’ll advise on finishes and levels that suit period façades and communal settings.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m² installed. Coloured concrete or exposed aggregate typically sits around £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, removal of old surfaces and difficult access near W2 can add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most small patios or courtyards take 2–4 days from excavation to finishing, with larger areas usually 4–7 days. Timescales depend on access for materials, how much old paving must be removed, and whether drainage or reinforcement is required. Concrete curing also matters: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but we recommend waiting longer before heavy loads.
In many cases, patios and garden hardstanding are permitted development, especially at the rear of a property. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, a listed building, or if the work affects drainage to the public highway. City of Westminster also expects sensible surface water management, so permeable solutions or proper drainage may be needed. We check constraints and advise before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installation workmanship, covering issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, and defects linked to our base preparation and finishing. It also includes problems arising from incorrectly placed expansion joints or reinforcement specified in your quote. Normal wear, accidental damage and movement from external causes (like leaking drains) aren’t included. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing.
We offer plain concrete for a clean, minimal look, coloured concrete for warmer tones, and exposed aggregate for a decorative, slip-resistant surface. For texture, a brushed finish works well on paths, while power floating creates a smoother, contemporary feel. We can add reinforcement for strength, integrate drainage channels, and place expansion joints discreetly. We’ll recommend options based on your property style and how you’ll use the space.
