From family patios near Shepherd's Bush Green to side returns by Westfield London, a well-laid slab creates a clean, durable surface that’s easy to maintain. We install concrete bases for seating areas, bin stores, garden rooms and utility zones where paving can shift. Every pour is planned for falls and drainage, so water moves away from thresholds and walls. Expect crisp edges, neat joints and a finish that suits your garden style.
Homes across W12 include Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments, each with different access and load requirements. We’re used to narrow passages, shared entrances and timed deliveries, keeping disruption low. For terraces, we often reinforce slabs to handle outdoor kitchens or pergolas. For apartment blocks, we coordinate with managing agents and protect communal routes throughout the works.
We start with a site visit to check levels, sub-base depth and where water currently sits after rain. Then we excavate, install a compacted base, add reinforcement where needed, and pour with expansion joints to reduce cracking. You’ll get clear staging, tidy working practices and aftercare guidance for curing. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on installation.
The concrete slabs Shepherd's Bush area often needs must cope with tight access, controlled parking and busy roads around White City and Holland Park. We plan deliveries, barrowing routes and skip placement to suit local restrictions and reduce neighbour impact. Ground conditions vary between made-up garden soils and older sub-bases, so we adjust excavation depth and compaction accordingly. For projects in the concrete slabs in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham category, we also factor in drainage expectations and safe run-off away from public areas.

Costs vary with thickness, access, excavation and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs for patios or hardstanding often start around £120–£180 per m², while coloured concrete, exposed aggregate or power-floated finishes may be £170–£260+ per m². Reinforcement, drainage channels, steps and waste removal can add to the total. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after checking levels and site constraints in W12.
Most small patio or base projects take 2–4 days including excavation, sub-base, formwork and the pour. Larger areas or complex shapes can take 4–7 days, especially where access is limited or spoil removal is slower. Concrete needs time to cure: light foot traffic is often possible after 24–48 hours, but heavy loads and full use are best after 7–28 days depending on mix and weather.
In many cases, garden slabs and patios are permitted development, especially at ground level. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage onto the highway, or working at the front of a property where permeable surfacing may be expected. Listed buildings and some mansion conversions can have extra constraints. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you check council guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation, covering workmanship issues such as poor compaction, incorrect falls, inadequate jointing or failures caused by our base preparation. It doesn’t cover damage from external factors like tree roots, ground movement beyond reasonable expectations, or heavy loads outside the agreed design. We also give curing and maintenance advice to help prevent surface marking and early wear.
We offer plain concrete for clean, practical bases, coloured concrete for a warmer tone, and exposed aggregate for a decorative, slip-resistant texture. Finish options include brushed for grip, power float for a smooth contemporary look, and formed edges for sharp lines. We can add reinforcement, drainage falls, channels and neatly placed expansion joints. We’ll recommend the best combination based on how you’ll use the space and the style of your property.
