If you need a hard-wearing base for a patio, shed, garden room or driveway, our concrete slab installations are built to last in SW20. We regularly work near Raynes Park station and around Cannon Hill Common, where reliable access and tidy site management matter. Every slab is set out to suit your levels, thresholds and drainage runs. The result is a clean, practical surface that’s ready for paving, resin, or a finished concrete look.
Raynes Park has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses, often with side access, narrow drives and established gardens. We design slabs to suit these layouts, including reinforced builds for vehicle loading and thicker edges where needed. For family homes near Prince George's Playing Fields, we can create safe, non-slip finishes for play areas and paths. Whether it’s a small utility slab or a full driveway base, we tailor the specification to the property.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels check and a clear written specification covering thickness, reinforcement, drainage and expansion joints. We excavate properly, compact the sub-base, and pour to consistent levels before finishing with brushed, power float or exposed aggregate options. You’ll get straightforward communication, tidy working practices and a schedule you can plan around. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship and a finish that doesn’t crack or pond after the first winter.
Ground conditions across the London Borough of Merton can vary, so we assess sub-base depth and compaction carefully before pouring. Many streets in the concrete slabs raynes park area have tight parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries, barrowing routes and waste removal to minimise disruption. For older homes, we pay close attention to damp-proof course levels and thresholds to prevent bridging. We also factor in drainage requirements and sensible falls for gardens and driveways in SW20.

Costs in SW20 typically range from £90–£160 per m² for a standard plain slab, depending on excavation and sub-base depth. Reinforced slabs for driveways are often £120–£200 per m². Decorative options such as coloured concrete or exposed aggregate can add £15–£45 per m². Access, spoil removal, drainage channels and edging details are the biggest variables, so we price from a site visit.
Most small garden slabs take 1–2 days including excavation and pour, while larger patio bases or driveway slabs are usually 3–5 days. Curing time matters: light foot traffic is often fine after 24–48 hours, but heavy loads should wait around 7 days, with full strength developing over 28 days. Weather, access for materials, reinforcement, and drainage details can extend the programme.
Most garden slabs and patio bases are permitted development, so planning permission is rarely needed. Driveway-related works can be different if you’re creating a new hardstanding to the front and drainage isn’t compliant. In the London Borough of Merton, the key is managing surface water so it doesn’t run onto the highway or overwhelm drains. We’ll advise on permeable solutions, falls and channel drains, and flag any cases where permission may apply.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab workmanship, covering issues such as settlement due to inadequate sub-base preparation, poor finishing, or cracking linked to missing/incorrect expansion joints. It also covers defects in our installation of reinforcement and drainage falls where specified. Normal wear, impact damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. You’ll receive clear documentation of the build-up and care guidance after installation.
We offer plain concrete for practical bases, coloured concrete for a cleaner decorative look, and exposed aggregate for texture and grip. Finish options include brushed (great for paths), power float (smooth, modern) and tailored edging details. We can also include reinforcement mesh, thicker sections for vehicles, and neatly formed expansion joints. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend options based on use, slip resistance, maintenance, and how it suits your home’s style.
