From family gardens near Peckham Rye Park to courtyards by the Bussey Building, a well-laid slab transforms how you use outdoor space. Our concrete slabs suit patios, shed bases, bin stores and hard-wearing paths. We install plain concrete, coloured concrete and exposed aggregate to match the look you want. Every pour is set out carefully for levels, falls and tidy edges.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often comes with tight side access and varied ground build-ups. We regularly work across SE15, including Queen’s Road and Nunhead, where older properties can need extra attention to sub-base depth and damp management. For warehouse-style plots and mews yards, we can create crisp, modern slabs with a power float finish. Where you want grip underfoot, we recommend brushed finishes and considered drainage runs.
We start with a site visit, confirm levels, and plan falls away from the house before excavation begins. Your slab is built on a compacted sub-base, with reinforcement where required, plus properly spaced expansion joints to reduce cracking. We keep the site organised, protect adjacent brickwork and fences, and leave clean lines around drains and thresholds. Homeowners choose us for straight communication, reliable scheduling and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark, we plan for narrow access, parking restrictions and shared boundaries common around SE15 streets. Ground conditions can vary between made-up ground and compacted clay, so we adjust excavation depth and sub-base specification accordingly. We also factor in existing drains and manholes, keeping covers accessible and levels correct. If skips or materials need careful placement, we schedule deliveries to minimise disruption.

Costs in Peckham typically range from about £90–£160 per m² for plain concrete, depending on thickness, access and excavation. Coloured concrete or exposed aggregate usually sits around £120–£220 per m² due to materials and finishing time. Reinforcement, drainage channels, removal of old paving and difficult SE15 access can add to the total. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most domestic slab projects take 1–3 days on site for preparation, formwork, sub-base compaction and the pour. Larger patios or driveways can take 3–5 days, especially if we’re adding drainage runs, steps or multiple levels. Curing time matters too: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but we usually advise waiting around 7 days before heavy loads. Weather and access are key variables.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t required. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage to the public highway, or working near a listed building. For front gardens and driveways, permeable drainage and run-off control are important. We’ll talk you through Southwark requirements, check constraints, and recommend compliant drainage solutions before work starts.
Yes. Our concrete slab installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, or jointing defects that lead to premature failure. It also reflects our standards for reinforcement placement, thickness and finishing. Normal wear, accidental damage, or movement caused by external factors (like tree roots or leaking drains) isn’t covered, but we’ll always advise on prevention and maintenance.
We install plain concrete for a clean, cost-effective base, or upgrade to coloured concrete for a warmer tone that complements brickwork. Exposed aggregate is popular for grip and a decorative look, while a brushed finish improves slip resistance in shaded gardens. For a sleek contemporary style, we can power float the surface. We’ll help you choose thickness, reinforcement, edging details and drainage layouts to suit your property and how you’ll use the space.
