If you need a strong, level surface for a patio, greenhouse or driveway, our concrete slab installations are designed to last. We regularly work around SW16, including routes near Pollards Hill Library and South Lodge Avenue. From small garden bases to larger hardstanding, we focus on neat edges, correct falls and a finish that suits the property. Expect a clean site, clear communication and a slab that performs in all seasons.
The Pollards Hill area has a mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with practical front gardens and shared access paths. We plan pours and deliveries to minimise disruption and protect existing paving, fences and planting. For homeowners comparing concrete slabs Pollards Hill area options, we’ll advise on thickness, reinforcement and finishing based on intended use. The result is a surface that feels premium, not purely functional.
Our process starts with an on-site survey, levels and drainage checks, then proper excavation and a compacted sub-base. We install reinforcement where needed, formwork for crisp lines, and include expansion joints to reduce cracking. Finishes range from brushed for grip to power float for a smooth, modern look, with optional exposed aggregate for texture. Fine Landscaping is based just 5 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-ups are straightforward.
In the London Borough of Merton, access can be tight on residential streets and drive widths vary, so we plan deliveries and barrowing routes in advance. Ground conditions can change within a few roads, so we check sub-base depth and compaction rather than guessing. We also factor in drainage requirements, especially where front gardens meet public footways. This local approach helps concrete slabs in London Borough of Merton last longer and look sharper.

Costs depend on size, thickness, access and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs for garden bases often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is commonly £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, removal of old concrete and difficult access can increase the price. We’ll survey your site in SW16 and provide an itemised quote.
Most small to medium slabs (for sheds, bins or patios) take 1–2 days including excavation, sub-base and the pour. Larger areas such as driveways may take 2–4 days, especially if drainage, reinforcement and multiple bays are required. Weather, access for materials, and the amount of old surface to remove can affect timings. We’ll also advise on curing time before heavy use.
Most garden slabs and patio works are permitted development, but rules can apply to front gardens and driveway areas, particularly around surface water drainage. If you’re creating or replacing hardstanding at the front, you may need permeable solutions or drainage to a soakaway rather than the road. We’ll discuss the options, check what’s relevant for your property, and help you stay compliant in Merton.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab installations covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, and defects linked to installation methods. It also includes problems arising from missing or inadequate expansion joints where specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, or issues caused by ground movement beyond reasonable control aren’t covered. We’ll explain care and curing to help your slab perform long-term.
We install plain concrete for clean, practical bases, coloured concrete for a warmer look, and exposed aggregate for texture and visual interest. For finishing, many homeowners choose brushed concrete for grip or power float for a smoother, contemporary surface. We can also add reinforcement, drainage details and well-placed expansion joints for durability. We’ll recommend the best combination based on use, style and maintenance preferences.
