If you need a strong, clean base for a patio, driveway, bin store or garden room, our concrete slabs are designed to last. We regularly work around CR2, including routes near South Croydon station and out towards Sanderstead. Every slab is set out for levels, falls and practical access, so water runs where it should. The result is a neat, durable surface that suits modern outdoor living.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different ground levels and garden layouts. We tailor slab thickness, reinforcement and edging details to match the load and the setting. Whether you’re creating a new seating area near Lloyd Park or a solid base for a workshop, we keep lines straight and finishes consistent. Our team is used to working on occupied homes with minimal disruption.
We start with a site visit, measure up, and confirm the best finish and drainage approach before any digging begins. Sub-base preparation is done properly, then we pour, level and finish using brushed finish or power float as specified, with expansion joints where needed. We keep the site tidy, protect surrounding paving and planting, and provide clear aftercare on curing times. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
In the concrete slabs South Croydon area, we often encounter mixed ground and sloping plots, especially near Croham Hurst Woods and the higher roads towards Selsdon. We plan access for skips and concrete deliveries, and we work considerately where parking is tight. Our slabs are set out to suit typical Croydon property frontages and rear gardens, with drainage details that respect neighbouring boundaries. If needed, we can coordinate waste removal and keep paths usable during the build.

Costs vary by size, thickness, access and finish. As a guide, plain concrete slabs often start around £90–£140 per m², while coloured concrete or exposed aggregate may be £120–£190 per m². Reinforcement, extra excavation, spoil removal, drainage channels and edging can add to the total. We’ll survey the site in CR2 and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most small bases (for sheds or bins) can be completed in 1–2 days, while larger patios or driveway slabs commonly take 2–5 days including excavation and sub-base work. Curing time matters: light foot traffic is usually possible after 24–48 hours, but heavy loads should wait longer. Weather, access for deliveries, and whether we’re adding drainage or reinforcement will affect the schedule.
Many garden slabs and patio bases are permitted development, but rules can apply if you’re creating or altering a driveway, changing levels significantly, or directing water onto the highway. In the London Borough of Croydon, front garden surfacing typically needs proper drainage (such as permeable areas or drainage channels to a soakaway). We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check any restrictions before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our concrete slab workmanship, covering issues such as poor compaction, incorrect levels, and defects linked to installation. It also includes problems caused by inadequate reinforcement or missing expansion joints where they were specified. Normal wear, accidental damage, and movement from external factors (like tree roots or third-party excavations) aren’t covered. We’ll explain care and curing to protect your new slab.
You can choose plain concrete for a clean, practical base, coloured concrete for a warmer look, or exposed aggregate for texture and visual interest. We also offer brushed finish for extra grip and a power float finish for a smoother, denser surface. Depending on use, we’ll recommend reinforcement, drainage details and well-placed expansion joints. We’ll bring samples and talk through what suits your home and budget.
