If you need a reliable base for a garden room, a smart patio, or a practical hardstanding, our slabs are poured and finished to suit Richmond homes. We regularly work around TW9 and TW10, including routes near Richmond Green and across to Kew. Every pour is planned for levels, falls and drainage so water moves away from the house. The result is a neat, durable surface that looks right year-round.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often come with tight side access, mature planting and sensitive boundaries. We’re used to protecting existing paving, lawns and garden beds while still getting materials in safely. For courtyards and terraces we keep edges sharp and finishes consistent; for larger gardens we design slab bays to reduce cracking. If you’re comparing concrete slabs Richmond area options, we’ll recommend what suits your layout and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit to check ground conditions, drainage routes and access for deliveries. Then we excavate, install a compacted sub-base, add reinforcement where needed, and pour with controlled levels and falls. Finishes include brushed, power float or exposed aggregate, with expansion joints placed to manage movement. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In Richmond we often find mixed ground and tree influence, especially near Richmond Park and mature gardens in Ham and Petersham. We adjust sub-base depth, reinforcement and joint layout to suit, and we plan pours around access constraints on residential streets. Where parking and deliveries are limited, we schedule concrete drops carefully and keep the site safe and clean. For properties close to the river, we pay extra attention to falls and drainage detailing.

Costs vary with thickness, access, excavation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate is typically £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, and complex levels can add to the total. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site visit in TW9/TW10 so you can compare like-for-like.
Most small to medium pours take 1–3 days on site, plus curing time before heavy use. Excavation and sub-base preparation can be the longest stage, especially with restricted access or if we’re removing old paving. Weather also affects timing, as rain and cold can slow finishing and curing. We’ll confirm a programme and advise when you can walk on it and when it’s ready for furniture or vehicles.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, so no planning application is needed. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, working near boundaries, or affecting drainage to the public highway. For front gardens and drive areas, permeable drainage and run-off control are important. We’ll check the specifics for your property and advise if any permissions, consents or drainage compliance steps are required.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our concrete slab installations, covering issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, and jointing defects that lead to premature cracking or movement. Materials are supplied to appropriate standards, and we follow best-practice curing and finishing methods. The warranty does not cover damage from impact, unauthorised alterations, or exceptional ground movement beyond the designed specification.
We install plain concrete for clean, cost-effective bases, coloured concrete for a warmer tone, and exposed aggregate for a decorative, grippy surface. Finish options include brushed for slip resistance and power float for a smoother look. We can add reinforcement, drainage solutions and neatly positioned expansion joints to suit the slab size and use. We’ll help you choose based on aesthetics, maintenance, and whether it’s for a patio, shed base or driveway.
